It’s a Presidentially proclaimed time to celebrate the diversity, beauty, and history found in our national park system. During this week each year in mid-April, entrance fees are waived for all visitors. Visit your national parks for free! The Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise is open daily during this period, offering visitor information, food service, and gift shop. The National Park Inn at Longmire is open year-round offering overnight accommodations, dining, and a gift shop. During this time of year, the Carbon River area of the park is often snow-free and provides a great opportunity for hikers and bicyclists.
Get ready to celebrate National Park Week 2021 in April! To kick off National Park Week, all entrance fees are waived on Saturday, April 17! There are also special days during the week to highlight the different ways you can enjoy your national parks:
