Twotoes Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I may be wrong, not the first time, but I didn’t see a cost to purchase the ticket. Is it free? I did see that you still need to have a National Park Pass but nothing regarding a cost for the drive thru pass.

noteven Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 We rode our bike through there one hot summer day. Going to the Sun is correct. People everywhere. Cars circling the full summit parking lot. Stopped in a line of air conditioning idling cars at construction on a south facing grade. Hot. We noted the mountains were made of the same rock as “our” Alberta ones. It’s beautiful country. Quote "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.

LoveToGlamp Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 The cost is $2, which is waived if you have reservations for services (camping, etc) within the Park. Very deep into the article, just before they talk about how much trash people left last year. Too many ignorant/inconsiderate people in this country!

2gypsies Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This makes sense. It can be a madhouse at the top with people driving round and round to find a parking space. If there's no room at the top why keep letting people drive up?

RV_ Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) bobsallyh, I see this here a bunch and I believe many folks on these forums don't know they can edit misspells in the title of a thread. Like Ticked in this one where it should be ticket. If you started the thread (Are the OP) just go to the first post you wrote in the thread and click on edit. Now some folks must think that is just for the body of the post but it is not. In that edit mode on the first post, just correct the title too. Then save it. If you don't care then don't fix it. But it is easy for the OP.

Jinx & Wayne Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 This is the coming thing for busy places in National Parks. As of two days ago Acadia NP instituted a permit system for Cadillac Mountain. The cost is $4 per vehicle plus a $2 reservation fee. We were there last summer. They were building the booth and changing the traffic pattern at the base of the entrance road. As much as I hate to see these limits, I think they are needed. Acadia is often a zoo. In years past it was busy from July 4 through Labor Day. Now it is just jammed from mid-May through the end of foliage in October.

Out parks are struggling for lack of funding and there is no realistic probability of a significant increase in funding from congress.

Ray,IN Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I would never drive my POV over the mountain. We always stay at St. Marys and take the Blackfoot-operated bus (heated/air conditioned). Then we both may sight-see while moving, plus the driver can stop at places POV's cannot. Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.
