- Lodging: $65-$300/night (prices vary based on season/availability/hotel rating
- Food: $10-$30 per meal
- Park Fees: $35 per car for up to 7 days (if you’re visiting multiple parks, you may want to consider purchasing a yearly America the Beautiful pass. Visit NPS site for more information)
- Parking: Free inside the park
