national park week

 

As the National Park Service (NPS) celebrates 100 years of protecting and preserving the nation’s parks and monuments, all Americans are encouraged to get out and #FindYourPark during National Park Week, April 16 through 24. All National Park Service entrance fees will be waived for the week so choose a park, near or far, and discover what makes it unique!

We had the opportunity last year to visit Zion National Park and it’s a trip we won’t soon forget! If you’ve been thinking of visiting one of our local national parks, April 16-24 is the week to do it!

Some of the closer national parks include :

  • Joshua Tree National Park
  • Death Valley National Park (The wild flowers are blooming!!)
  • Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
  • Grand Canyon
  • Yosemite National Park
  • Pinnacles National Park
  • Zion National Park

We are heading for a nice three day weekend in a day or two and it’s still not too late to plan a last minute adventure or roadtrip. In honor of MLK’s birthday, the National Parks are offering free admission into any National Park. There a quite a few National Parks a few hours away that will be waiving their admission charges such as Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, Death Valley National Park(one of the best times to visit), Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs  and of course we can’t leave out Yosemite.

If you are looking for something adventurous this weekend, you might want to consider visiting one of our local National Parks. For additional info head here.
