What private park compares to Yosemite? Disney Land is not the same as Yellow Stone. And I do believe $80 will price a park out of a lot of peoples range. Many young families will be out of luck. Just because you can absorb that fee doesn't make it right.
7 day fees for Yosemite and Yellowstone are both $30.00, that is up from $25.00 last year. For a family of four, that would work out to an 18 cent per person, per day increase, making the total cost of park admission a cumbersome $1.07 per day. You are right, that is huge financial burden on those young families making the two day trip to Yellowstone in their $50,000 SUV while staying in a $300.00 a night hotel room. Dad may even have to skip his Double shot expresso one morning. Sell your Starbucks shares, I can see a huge increase in bankruptcies ahead.
