The hike would apply to 17 parks during their busiest five consecutive months of the year, and it would raise NPS revenue by an estimated $70 million per year. During peak visitation periods, selected parks would cost $70 for a car or truck, $50 for a motorcycle, or $30 for a person on bike or foot, according to an NPS press release. dailycaller.com https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3598383/posts#comment Wed, 25 Oct 2017 14:05:24 GMT
