International tourists will have to pay a $100 surcharge to visit Rocky Mountain National Park starting on Jan. 1 under a new policy announced Tuesday by the Trump administration.
The new “America-first” fee for foreign visitors comes as the federal government has ramped up mass deportations under the Trump and as initial data has showed tourism in Colorado — both in terms of revenue and jobs — has flattened since 2023.
“President Trump’s leadership always puts American families first,” said Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in a statement. “These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to maintaining and improving our parks for future generations.”
Currently, it costs between $15 and $35 for anyone — U.S. resident or foreign tourist — to enter Rocky Mountain National Park, which received 4.1 million visitors in 2024.
International tourists will have to pay the surcharge when visiting 11 of the most visited parks in the U.S., including Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, according to the National Park Service’s website.
Starting Jan. 1, foreign visitors will also pay more than U.S. residents for annual passes to the country’s national parks. International tourists will have to pay $250, whereas residents will pay $80, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The agency will also make it free for U.S. residents to visit national parks, including Rocky Mountain National Park, on seven specific days in 2026, including Memorial Day on May 25, Flag Day/President Donald Trump’s birthday on June 14, Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday on Oct. 27 and Veterans Day on Nov. 11, according to the news release.
