Fee Increase For Shenandoah National Park
There is a fee increase this year for entrance into the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. An annual park pass now cost $40, car passes now cost $20 and motorcycle passes now cost $15. The park fee uses 80% of the fee and puts the money back into the park for improving the facilities, research, wildlife and trail and ground maintenance. Many national parks were built in the 1930’s and 1940’s and now the need for repairs are great. Another price increase for park admission is planned in January 2017.
Even with the fee increase a visit to the Shenandoah Nation Park is well worth the price. The fresh air, clear blue skies, wildflowers, wildlife, waterfalls, hiking trails and views from the overlooks make a visit to this area of the Blue Ridge Mountains a favorite destination for many. Enjoy spring time this time of year at the annual Wildflower Weekend May 9-10th, 2015. Special activities for the weekend include wildflower walks, workshops, and other activities for all ages.
