Entrance fees to national parks will be waived this weekend, folks. (Yay!) In addition to free admission, according to the LA Times, "many park partners, including area hotels and restaurants, will offer discounts and special promotions."
Here's a list of the state parks you can explore on the cheap this weekend.
- Cabrillo National Monument
- Death Valley National Park
- John Muir National Historic Site
- Joshua Tree National Park
- Lassen Volcanic National Park
- Lava Beds National Monument
- Muir Woods National Monument
- Pinnacles National Monument
- San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park
- Sequoia National Park
- Whiskeytown Unit National Recreation Area
- Yosemite National Park
Entrances fees can run anywhere from $3 to $25. So, why not check out one of mother nature's treasures, especially if you haven't been to one before. We recommend the Maritime Historical Park in San Francisco, John Muir, Death Valley and the woefully underrated Sequoia National Park.
