All national parks and monuments are free to visit on the opening day of National Park Week.
Tourists stop to gaze at the spectacular Yosemite Valley from the national park’s Tunnel View lookout. Yosemite National Park will offer free admission on Saturday, April 20. This can save you $50 or even more, but here’s what you need to know, from someone who’s taken advantage of it in the past.
Here are the nine national parks in California: Channel Islands , Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Kings Canyon, Lassen, Pinnacles, Redwood, Sequoia, Yosemite. You can also drive to Zion National Park in Utah — one of my faves — in about eight hours. Get on the road before dawn with snacks, sandwiches, water, a swimsuit and a towel. Watch the pink sun rise over Mt. San Jacinto, which is a truly beautiful sight. At this hour, there won’t be any traffic, so you should make it to the west park entrance in 90 minutes or so, depending obviously on where you start.
