In honor of National Public Lands Day on Sept. 24, entrance to all National Park Service sites will be free. Here are 10 sites to visit across the country, recommended by park rangers and experts.
“Schools are back in session in most places, and the summer tourism rush is waning ... fall colors are happening,” said Naaman Horn, NPS spokesperson for the Intermountain Region and former park ranger. “It’s just a wonderful time to visit.”
While many visitors will use the free day for recreation, National Public Lands Day is the largest single day of volunteering for parks and public lands in the country. “There’s something to be said for planting a tree or doing invasive species removal or a cleanup around a river versus just going to see the sites,” said Kelly Burnett, conservation program director at the National Environmental Education Foundation . “It makes you a steward of that space ... it leaves an impression."
