Free NP admittance for 2011

[mickeyd]

Lots of time to plan your trips to our wonderful national parks. Gotta love that big chunk in April.

The National Park Service has announced several fee-free days for 2011. On these free entrance days, you can visit any national park without paying the usual entrance fee. One fee-free weekend has already passed (Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday weekend), but there's plenty of time left to plan a trip on one of the other dates, which are:

• April 16 - 24
• June 21
• September 24
• November 11 - 13

To help you plan your visit, the National Park Service has compiled a list of national parks that are participating in the free entrance days program.
