Lassen, Yosemite and Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Parks 2016 Fee Free Days
National Parks- The National parks service has announced their 2016 Fee Free Days. Â Each year the Park system uses Fee Free Days to increase volunteer opportunities and to help introduce new people to the park system. These are great days to not only fantastic days to visit and get involved with clean-up and educational opportunities but are also great days to explore a new part of the park or take a friend that has never been to the park.
In the Sierra we are blessed with several National Parks: Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings Canyon and Lassen National Parks all have a variety of activities available on Fee Free Days.
This year plan your visit and see someplace new.
