Visit The National Parks For FREE On Monday

Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone is stunning

This past summer, we visited three National Parks in one week, Glacier, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I'm tired just thinking about it, but it was an amazing trip. You can check out how we did it by reading my post. 

And this Monday, November 11th, you can visit any National Park for FREE. 

The US Park Service allows FREE entry five days a year and Veteran's Day is one of them. 

Here are the FREE entry dates for 2020: 

• January 20 - Martin Luther King Jr. Day 
• April 18 - National Park Day
• August 25 - National Park Service Birthday 
• September 26 - National Public Service Day 
• November 11 - Veterans Day 

The park entrance fee varies from $20-$35 depending on which park you visit. If you can't make it on the FREE day, it might be worth it to pick up a National Park Annual Pass for $80. You can buy it online or pick it up at the entrance to any park. It is good for the month you buy it and the next eleven months so plan carefully. Each park we visited this past summer would have cost us $35 to enter so we broke even quickly. 

There are more than 400 parks to choose from so whether you go for the day or a few days, it's a beautiful way to get into nature and leave the city noise behind. 

That's how we do it at almost FREE family travel.
