Voice of the Saline Preservation Association wrote: The Park is planning in the future to erect a fee station and information facility on Highway 190, approximately one mile east of the Saline Valley turnoff. This facility will not block the state highway, but will be at a pullout on the side of the road. Even though the fee station will be located past the Saline turnoff, visitors to the Springs will be expected to pay their Park fee before entering Saline Valley. We can expect increased enforcement of the fee requirement once this entry station is in place. Frequent visitors to Saline or the Park may want to purchase a $20 annual pass to Death Valley. Seniors over 62 can buy a lifetime Golden Age Passport for $10, good for all Federal fee areas (the exact meaning of this is unclear). Other options include the $50 National Park Pass, or the $65 Golden Eagle Passport. All these will be available at the new fee station. Entrance fees collected in Death Valley largely go to fund local Park staff and facilities.
