Managing to capacity is not actually a reason for imposing the fees. And even if it was, the fees are not nearly high enough to have that effect.
Capacity challenges are being handled instead by denser transportation (e.g. Zion shuttle), by lotteries (e.g. Grand Canyon float trips), and by limited timed reservations (e.g. Rocky Mountain).
