For one week only, Colorado native and Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, is waiving entrance fees to national parks, monuments, recreation areas, and historic sites in honor of National Park Week, April 17-25. This is a wonderful opportunity to check out some of the amazing Colorado parks.
Some of my favorite National Colorado parks are Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Even though entrance fees will be waived from April 17-25, 2010, the camping fees still apply. If you can’t take advantage of the free Park entry, consider buying an annual pass. The fees for passes are $80 per year, or if you are are 62 or older, you qualify for a lifetime senior pass for just $10. Lifetime passes for disabled folks are free.
Also, if you live close to a National Park, why not become a volunteer? Aside from doing a good deed, the National Parks Service will reward you with an annual pass for free once you have logged 500 volunteer hours. So head on out to the wilderness and experience these magical places during National Parks Week - April 17-25, 2010.
