Hi,
seems if you guys add a couple more National parks to your trip it might be worth buying the 'America The Beautiful - National Parks And Federal Recreational Lands Pass'
It's nowadays $80 (used to be $50 )
http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm
MC entry fees:
$10 Yosemite NP
$10 Sequoia / King's Canyon NP
$10 Death Valley NP
$12 Zion NP
$12 Bryce Canyon NP
$12 Grand Canyon NP
$00 Canyon de Chelley NP
($10 Rocky Mountain NP)
Seems at least some parks charge per person if on a motorcycle, meaning a passenger pays the per-person fee as well. If anybody's going two up, the pass seems to cover up to 4 adults (at least that's how I'd interpret the small print).
Monument Valley is 'run' by the Navajo tribe and not part of the National Parks system. And it's $5 per nose.
Note also that some parks can be state parks and are also not part of the National Parks system. So the pass wouldn't be valid there.
E.g in CA: http://www.parks.ca.gov/parkindex/region_info.asp?id=4&tab=1
have fun
