National Park Entrance Fee

By Brannon • January 21, 2026

A National Park entrance fee is required for each guest aged 16 and older who will be entering the park with Arizona River Runners. This money goes directly to the park to help maintain and protect one of the world’s greatest wonders. If you are an avid parkgoer or are traveling with a group, you might consider investing in a National Park Pass.

As an ARR guest, a valid park pass will cover the entrance fee for up to four guests within the same party. To remove the fees from your river trip cost, you will need to purchase a pass and email us a photo of the front and back of your pass or forward us the email with your digital pass information before your trip departs, preferably before the final payment is due. An annual pass is good for one year; if purchased in June, it will be good until the following June.

National Park Passes provide access to more than 2,000 recreational areas including National Monuments, National Forests, Wildlife Refuges, and BLM land. A pass is well worth it if you plan on visiting other recreation areas, as you will likely be spending more than the cost of the pass on entrance fees.

Adventure awaits!

No question too small!
