Our National Parks are “America’s best idea.”  Well here’s an even better one:  Free Admission! 

 

Free Admission

Every year, the National Parks Service offers free admission to all National Parks on select days.  It’s a great idea to help get Americans outdoors.

Make sure to take advantage of the fee-free days this year.  It’s a chance to enjoy our country’s natural beauty without emptying your wallet.  Remember, there are fewer fee-free days than last year.  And the current federal administration is trying to jack-up fees to enter America’s most popular national parks. 

So if you’ve been hankering for a road trip, now’s your chance to be dazzled by some of America’s most beautiful wild country!

April is a slow time in many parks, so it’s a great opportunity to commune with nature.  I haven’t decided where I’m headed.  Last year it was Pinnacles National Park to hike through the bat caves and look for California Condors.  It’s becoming a tradition for me.  This year?  Hmmm… there are so many to choose from!

 

What a Bargain!

So take advantage of “America’s best idea” during free admission days.  Besides free admission, the Park Service is throwing in complementary sunshine, fresh air, beautiful views, and amazing animals.  What a bargain!

Do you plan to visit a National Park this year?  Let me know which one in the comments below.
