Visit Parks Free on National Public Lands Day

Saturday is National Public Lands Day. Visitors to the Grand Canyon and other national parks will get in free on that day.

National Public Lands Day began in 1994 as a way to encourage outdoor activity. In addition to recreational opportunities, volunteers across the country will help conserve and restore the natural resources on public lands.
