Free Access To National Parks This Weekend

If you haven't had a chance to visit one of the nation's national parks, this weekend is the perfect opportunity to do so as they're free.

On August 14 and 15, all national parks are waiving normal admission fees and granting free entrance to all park visitors. Entrance fees usually run $20 to $25 at the country's most popular national parks like Yosemite and Grand Canyon.

Some parks, however still require paying fees of one sort or another, including the Statue of Liberty, which requires a ferry ride, or Mount Rushmore, which requires a parking fee.

Still, there's no better way to see the nation's grandeur and vision for protecting the national heritage.
