processing fee.
Officials also note that new fees will be in effect starting in 2008 for
motorcycles and for the Glacier National Park Annual Pass. Motorcycle fees
will increase to $20.00 for a 7-Day Pass. This increase follows mandatory
national fee rates established for motorcycles. The Glacier National Park
Annual Pass is expected to be increased to $40.00. All other fees will be
unchanged.
In accordance with the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, 80 percent
of visitor entrance and campground fees stay in Glacier. Fees are primarily
used to fund park projects that benefit visitors, including projects
related to deferred maintenance, resource protection, and new programs and
services. Using fee money, park officials have funded a variety of
improvement projects including: installing new comfort stations at the Loop
and in the North Fork; improving hiking trails throughout the park;
designing new wayside exhibits; and rehabilitating vegetation.
