If you visit this blog often, you know I’m a big supporter of our country’s national parks. Although admission is already a bargain, the U.S. National Park Service will be celebrating the beginning of summer with free admission into National Parks on Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Find the list of participating national parks by state on the National Park Service website.

Beyond June 21, there are two more dates in 2011 when the National Park Service will waive admission, these are:

Sept. 24 for Public Lands Day
Nov. 11 – 13 for Veterans Day Weekend.

Visit ParkPartners.org website for a list of special offers by national park concessioners during these free days.

Hope you have the opportunity to enjoy your national parks!

Note: Although entrance fees, commercial tour fees and transportation entrance fees are waived, fees as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included, unless otherwise noted.
