Feel like taking a little trip this week to explore the great outdoors? It’s National Park Week, and through April 24 admission to ALL National Parks is free! The National Park Service is partnering with the National Park Foundation to present this a celebration of our national heritage as encouragement to explore amazing places and discover open spaces.

• April 22: Earth Day
  On Earth Day, if you want to roll up your sleeves and pitch in with a project, look for a park where you can help out.
• April 23: National Park Instameet
  Join an InstaMeet in a park. Gather in a designated place at a specific time to take photos and short videos to post on Instagram (and other social media) with the same hashtag: #FindYourParkInstaMeet, #FindYourPark, #EncuentraTuParque, #NPS100
• April 24: Park Rx Day
  On Park Rx Day, parks will host fun recreational activities that encourage healthy lifestyles and promote physical and mental well being.
