Two separately purchased vehicle passes cost $70, matching the park annual pass. The $80 resident America the Beautiful pass costs $10 more and covers other federal recreation sites.
The shuttle is included
Your entrance receipt or annual or lifetime pass covers you and your vehicle occupants on the park shuttle. Keep it with you when boarding outside the park.
Estimate your entrance cost
Estimate one private entry and compare America the Beautiful options using your group’s ages and residency. Separately charged activities and organized groups are excluded.
Standard private entry only. Children under 16 do not pay individual entrance or nonresident fees. Annual-pass estimates assume no existing pass; they cover one private vehicle or the holder plus three adults on foot. Motorcycle estimates cover up to two motorcycles and four people. Check pass eligibility and group rules before paying.
Where to buy your pass
Choose the park’s accepted payment method, keep the pass or tag ready, and bring any required proof of eligibility.
Use a card at a fee station
Bryce Canyon fee stations accept credit or debit cards. The park does not accept cash.
Save the digital pass
Buy a digital vehicle, individual or motorcycle pass through Recreation.gov. It is good for seven days from its effective date.

- NPS and the relevant operators. The linked official pages support the access, facilities and rules described here. Confirm details before traveling.

Topic sources and data details
Fees, coverage, eligibility and buying instructions come from the official sources linked beside the tables and cards. The displayed price inventory is dated 2026. Prices retain the listed charging unit and eligibility.
Cost estimates use the listed standard-entry rates and documented interagency pass coverage. They exclude organized or commercial groups, separately charged activities, and guessed fees at other parks. A residency choice does not replace the eligibility documents required by NPS.
The fee-free section points to official dates and eligibility without storing a fixed calendar in this page. Current closures, temporary rules and services are carried separately by Current conditions. A design review does not refresh an underlying table verification date.
Operational source check: September 11, 2026. Design and emphasized source review: 2026-10-21. A design review does not refresh every underlying record.
