Free Entry into US National Parks this August 14th and 15th

nat-parkThe National Park Service will allow visitors free entry and waive entrance fees on August 14th and 15th to encourage Americans to visit national parks such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Rocky Mountain National Park.

The fee waivers will apply to all 392 national parks across the country, from Alaska to Florida, in 49 states, many of which will hold free events on August 14th and 15th.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said, "This fee-free weekend provides an opportunity for individuals and families alike to take an affordable vacation or to explore a nearby park they have never visited before. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the free admission to visit not only our greatest natural wonders but also our nation's historic and cultural icons."

The entrance fees being waived at the 146 sites usually charge for admission range from $3 to $25. There are 246 other parks that do not have entrance fees so you can plan a free visit year-round. The fee free waiver does not include other fees collected in advance or by contractors-such as fees charged for camping, reservations, tours and use of concessions.
