This website has some incredible information regarding National Parks! http://www.nationalparks.org/about-us/our-partners

This is the National Park Foundation (NPF) website and you can find all sorts of amazing information and activities!!

Every spring all the US National Parks waive the entrance fee. This year it was April 22nd through April 26th. With the 401 parks gracing this country from coast to coast there is no reason not to plan a trip. Every American is within 100 miles of a park so it's time to see what you have right here by you!

On the site you can follow a link to the calendar of events happening in each state or each park. This is the calendar of events locally happening..
