I'm not sure. In Rocky Mountain National Park for instance, there are things above 9000 feet you can't get to unless a ranger takes your money; and in every experience I've ever had, that's the only way to get access to those experiences.

When I spent the night on Long's Peak in Rocky Mountain (not intentional! I went up a semi-technical route but somehow lost the "easy" trail on the way down...) there were no rangers and no payments. I value that day-night-morning more than all of my other visits to RMNP put together.

The trail markings on Long's Peak are terrible. I had trouble finding the trail back down too but it was midday and there were ranges around to point me in the right direction.
