An America the Beautiful pass covers the entrance fee at both Grand Teton and Yellowstone. The $70 Grand Teton annual pass does not — it is single-park, and a separate Yellowstone fee is due if you continue north. An Annual or America the Beautiful pass waives the $100 per-person non-U.S.-resident fee. From 2026 the servicewide fee-free days apply to U.S. residents only.
