Talk about messed up, most of us entered Yosemite by trail and it was free.  
A couple bailed out at Vermillion because of injury, reentered the park by 
bus and both had to pay a $20 entrance fee to the bus driver.  If they had 
hitched in, it would have been $20 for the carload.  

I heard rumors that Shenandoah Nation Park may start charging thru-hikers 
entering the park by trail to pass through.

I would think a Golden Pass of some sort, for a nominal fee should cover all 
your bases where ever one hikes, with the proceeds going directly back into 
the Parks and Forest Service. (but don't quote me, I haven't thought this out)
