would you pay $41 to enter a National Park?
I am calling BS on this story. Read it and the implication is that folks would be okay with an 80% increase in entrance fees if it ensured they would see a bear Article

At the present time there are private tours that have a guide/driver and that increase the odds of their customers seeing wildlife. If someone is inept or lazy or short on time they can join one of these tours in the park. During the winter months this is often the only option for getting to parts of the park where the roads are not plowed.
No reason to charge everyone to have more rangers to show more people the bears. Actually this would be a negative action on the part of the park service as more encounters would harass the bears and could provoke more attacks, either way not a desirable outcome.
Reminds me of when Nixon proposed building monorails through the parks to make it easier for people to see the sights without having to go through the major inconvenience of having to walk hundreds of feet.
