Budget Yellowstone separately
A seven-day vehicle pass for each park totals $70. The $80 resident federal annual pass becomes cheaper only when other covered fees push the total above $80.
A boat permit is only part of the cost
Grand Teton charges for motorized and non-motorized craft. Wyoming AIS decals and registration can add costs, depending on the craft and exemptions.
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.

Check pass eligibility and group rules before paying.

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 10, 2026. Design and emphasized source review: 2026-10-21. A design review does not refresh every underlying record.
