text: I am happy about this change; however, I found the raise a bit steep. I do not mind paying the increased price as long as it goes toward maintenance.As much as I would love to see the attendance to drop a little bit, I highly doubt the price hike will effect it significantly. It won`t brake the budget of those who can afford a road trip and visit the parks. Not to mention, that the annual federal land pass price would not change. For those who cry about low income families - please! Like the parks were full with struggling families. Nope.Regardless, if it is hard to cough up the entrance fee be smart. There are loopholes for this problem.  The real question is whether price hike will be able to cover the budget cuts.
