About Grand Teton

Soaring over a landscape rich with wildlife, pristine lakes, and majestic alpine vistas, the Teton Range stands as a testament to generations of stewards. For over 11,000 years, communities have thrived in the valley known as Jackson Hole, turning these mountains into more than just peaks—they embody imagination and enduring human connection.

The $100 nonresident fee

At 11 parks, each non-U.S. resident aged 16 or older pays a $100 nonresident fee on top of the standard entrance fee, unless admitted with an annual or America the Beautiful pass.

All valid America the Beautiful passes and park-specific annual passes cover entrance fees and nonresident fees for the pass holder and passengers in a private vehicle. The holder must be there.

Official pages call the $100 a per-person fee but do not say how long it lasts. Forum answers say it shares the 7-day entrance window; some tour operators say it is charged per entry. Our totals charge it once per park visit of up to 7 days.
