April 20th is a special day for nature enthusiasts and explorers across the United States. It’s the National Park Entrance Day, a day when over 130 participating National Parks across the country open their gates for free. This event marks the first day of National Park Week, a week dedicated to celebrating and exploring the great outdoors.
The National Park Entrance Day is not just about free entry. It’s an invitation to explore the beauty and diversity of the United States’ natural landscapes. From the towering sequoias of Yosemite to the geysers of Yellowstone, the rugged cliffs of the Grand Canyon to the pristine beaches of the Everglades, there’s something for everyone.
It’s important to note that while entrance fees are waived, other amenity or user fees may still apply. However, this shouldn’t deter you from taking advantage of this opportunity. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a casual visitor, National Park Entrance Day is a perfect opportunity to discover new places or revisit old favorites.
So, mark your calendars for April 20th, pack your picnic baskets, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready to immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Remember, the beauty of nature is priceless, and on National Park Entrance Day, it’s also free.
