## Resource

Starting next year, visiting the Maroon Bells will cost you way more—day-use fees jump from $10 to $30, and vehicle passes from $25 to $75. Pitkin County takes over management in 2027 to tackle rising costs and fund upkeep, skipping slow Forest Service fee adjustments. Officials say the old fee hasn’t changed in 28 years and the new prices reflect real expenses—with all revenue reinvested into the area. Shuttle fares stay at $16, and decisions were shaped by hundreds of public comments and thousands of surveys. This move aims to keep the iconic spot pristine while ensuring long-term sustainability.
