U.S. National Park Free Days for 2014

The United States National Park Service offers free entrance to their parks on certain days (or holidays).  For 2014, here they are:

• January 20, 2014 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
• February 15 to 17, 2014 for Presidents Day weekend
• April 19 to 20, 2014 for opening weekend of National Park Week
• August 25, 2014 for National Park Service Birthday
• September 27, 2014 for National Public Lands Day
• November 11, 2014 for Veterans Day

Obviously expect crowds. On our trip to Yosemite, it happened to be during the National Park Service Birthday of that year and so in addition to the usual volume of visitors, I am sure there were extra people present.

If you want to avoid those crowded days, just get an annual pass. Currently they run about $80 per year.  If you are 62 years of age or older then your price is $10 per year!  Click on the below link for more information.
