The additional revenue will be used to address infrastructure and maintenance needs.

"Revenue, collected from entrance fees, remains with the National Park Service and helps ensure a quality experience for all who visit," according to the release.

The current entrance price is $7 for those 16 and older. The passes are valid for seven days. The cost of an annual pass to the park will also increase from $30 to $35.
