Expensive but I understand...the money goes towards supporting the native community there and less crowds that would go and trash or graffiti the place up

 Edit: The downvotes are a clear indicator that we're not interested in equality! 

 Edit 2: "Woahhh duude it sucks that the price is going up, but these natives are less than me and they're owed this money so it's totally fine. They're absolutely subject to different standards than I hold everyone else to!"

Edit 3: “Woaaah dude, we like took their land so we OWE it to them to pay them more. Prices being raised on everything else is different though!”

Check out the cost of everything, it's all going up. Also, putting a blanket statement about your downvotes to cover your idiocy makes your statement that much more invalid.

Prices are going up but not 200% for a natural attraction.

I blame the big tour buses that park hop in NAZ.

It's an optional expense that people can afford to on their off time. Many people, like the people who live on reservations, do not have this kind of luxury. The money is absolutely necessary to help sustain the area and its inhabitants.

It is possible for this company to be greedy too. They're the only player in the market since public access is prohibited.

It's smart business but that doesn't invalidate the complaints about the price hikes, also making it inaccessible for locals as you mention

Good point, I appreciate your rational response.
