You can visit any national park for free on June 19
Like visiting our fabulous national parks?
In celebration of Juneteenth National Independence Day, the National Park Service is offering free admission to all its parks and monuments on Thursday, June 19.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday that celebrates the 1865 abolition of slavery in the United States.
This free day can save you a $50 national park entry fee at many places or even more, but here’s what you need to know:
These free days, which don’t include other fees like camping, are popular. For maximum enjoyment, I suggest getting there when the park opens or at sunrise, before everyone else is even out of bed. No crowds, you can find parking, and sunrise is really beautiful, right? C’mon. You can do it this once.
