Do you know of any foreign visitors planning to tour the USA in 2026? The National Park Service will institute a new fee structure on January 1. Foreign visitors will pay the regular Natiional Park entry fee PLUS $100 per person surcharge. Supposedly good for seven days. Not clear if that seven days includes multiple parks or just the one park you've just entered. Not clear if it is a fee per vehicle or for each separate person within or upon the vehicle. Plenty of confusing details in Google searches. If you know of anyone planning a moto tour ( I do ) you should alert them to study and keep up with the information. Just FYI.

If you know these folks and you have a Senior Park Pass (Previously known as a Golden Eagle Pass) or Veterans Park Pass take them in your vehicle and you all get in for free.

"Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the Annual Pass will cost $80 for U.S. residents and $250 for nonresidents, ensuring that American taxpayers who already support the National Park System receive the greatest benefit. Nonresidents without an annual pass will pay a $100 per person fee to enter 11 of the most visited national parks, in addition to the standard entrance fee. "

Not meaning to poke the bear but I think that's just a bit overboard.
