The North Entrance Station is a small fee booth located where Utah Trail becomes Park Boulevard. Visitors can pay their entrance fees or buy a park pass here as they go into the park. Park rangers may also collect fees or check passes here as visitors drive or bike out of the park.
If there is no ranger present or the fee booth is closed, visitors can continue to drive into the park without showing their pass or paying the entrance fee unless a special circumstance closes the park roads, like a weather closure.
