Entrance Fees
$15 per vehicle OR if you plan to visit more National Parks within the next 12 months I suggest you go ahead and purchase the America the Beautiful Pass (which can be found at the entrance gates to most national parks). This pass gets you into all National Parks, Forests, Monuments, and more including 2,000 sites for free after a one time $79 fee.
Gas
Fuel up fully before you get into the park. Drive times are longer than you might assume because there are no through roads. Drive times from some destinations can be hours apart. More on drive times below.
Cell Service
Cell Service is spotty in the park but there is reception here and there.
