A pass covers the entrance fee only. It does not cover the Devils Garden Campground or Fiery Furnace fees. Resident Annual $80, Non-Resident Annual $250, Senior Annual $20, Senior Lifetime $80, Military/Access/4th Grade free. NOTE: unlike Yosemite, Zion, Rocky Mountain and Glacier, the Arches fees page does NOT mention a $100 non-US-resident surcharge.
