Some good news for those visiting National Parks this year without an annual pass, there were a number of planned entrance fee rate hikes that won't be happening for the time being: "National Park Service Director Mary Bomar, in a decision she calls "in the best interest of the NPS," has frozen park entrance fees at 2007 levels. However, some amenity fees, such as the nightly cost of a campsite, are going up as planned."National Park Entrance Fees Frozen at 2007 Levels [National Parks Traveler]
