The annual National Park pass was $50 in 1994. I suspect the price has
gone up a bit since then, but you should be able to find out for sure
by going to the National Park Service website (sorry, I don't have the
URL handy). You might even be able to order your pass online. It'll
be good for a whole year and can be used for free entrance to all
national parks and monuments in the US (this doesn't necessarily apply
to National Historic Parks/Sites). Once in the park, you are usually
on your own for any tours, food, parking, campsite fees, etc.
