National Park Week

Throughout Arizona and all of the United States, the fees will be waved to the country's national parks. 

Saturday, April 17th through Sunday, April 25th. 

What a great opportunity to take a little day trip to a neat destination right here in Arizona--for no entry fees. 

The National Parks Service website says this:

"Explore the stunning beauty and amazing stories found in your national parks and celebrate National Park Week!

Also, Saturday, April 24, is National Junior Ranger Day, and children can take part in kid-friendly activities and earn their very own junior ranger patch!

So come on out! National parks across the country are hosting events and volunteer projects on Earth Day - April 22 - and throughout the week.  We hope to see you in a national park during National Park Week or sometime soon!"
