Explore National Parks for FREE this weekend!
This Saturday, September 25th, you can get into the national park areas for FREE!! There are over 400 sites to explore completely for free, I guarantee there is something for everyone!
However, this weekend celebrates National Public Lands Day which is a wonderful time to volunteer to keep our public lands clean, safe, and ready for everyone.
From the NPS:
There are many ways to participate in National Public Lands Day. Whatever you choose to do, be sure to #RecreateResponsibly!
Take part in a volunteer work project. Certain in-park projects may provide a fee-free day coupon to be used on a future date. See the list of National Public Lands Day events below or check out all volunteer events at national parks.
Have fun and enjoy the health benefits of being outdoors!
Share your favorite outdoor activity on social media channels with the hashtag #NPLD, #NPSVolunteer, and #FindYourPark!
And if you happen to have a 4th grader, don’t forget they are eligible for their free NPS pass and that every day is free for them through August 31, 2022!
If you’re interested in exploring the rest of the year, we have one remaining free NPS day this year.
