Wanna go for any Outing this weekend? National Parks are free!
Spring is here and so is the lush green weather all over the country. And what better time to go for an outing than this beautiful time of the year? And that too for free!
Spring is the time that pulls people out for going on a hike and do some camping for a couple of days. But almost 80% of the average population of working Americans are only free on the weekends. On top of that, most of the places have a price surge going on the weekends.
Out of the 419 national parks throughout the country 108 of them charge, a regular entrance fee. But not this weekend. It is National Park Week starting from the 17th of April and most of the national parks you have been dreaming to visit can now be open for you and that too for no price at all. Park entrance fees are waived off this Saturday, since it is the first day of the National Park week, on the places or sites that usually charge some fees.
But do note that you still have to pay to camp, park, in-park transportation, and other activities you wish to do inside of the park.
