Mark your calendars. The U.S. Park Service waives entrance fees to all of its 419 parks, monuments and other sites on Saturday, April 16 as part of National Park Week. It sounds like a good reason to plan a road trip, whether for a weekend in a nearby state (Utah’s five national parks are fabulous in spring before it gets too hot) or even just for an afternoon to explore the beauty that is Colorado.
If you’re not able to take advantage of this freebie, mark your calendar now for the remaining FREE days in 2022: August 4 — One year anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act, September 24 — National Public Lands Day and November 11 — Veterans Day.
