An Annual or America the Beautiful pass also exempts non-US residents from the $100 per-person surcharge. The Bryce Canyon park annual pass ($70) is sold to US citizens and residents only. A pass does not cover a backcountry permit or a campground reservation. It is not needed for the shuttle beyond proving admission.
