National Park Service to double entrance fees at some popular parks

The National Park Service wants to double the entrance fees at 17 of the most popular parks.

Under the agency's proposal, the entrance fee would jump from $30 to $70 during peak season.

The cost of an annual pass, which permits entrance into all federal lands and parks, would stay at $80.

The National Park Service said the increase would help pay for badly needed improvements, including to roads, bridges and campgrounds.
