US National Parks have free entry on August 25

The US National Park Service (NPS) is going to waive entrance fees for every site in celebration of its 105th birthday on August 25th. This means, on that special day, you have the opportunity to visit NPS protected parks without paying any entrance fee.
The National Parks Service has a total of 423 parks across the country, and about one-third of these charge an entry fee. The fee is anywhere between $5 and $35. But on August 25, you will be able to enter the national parks for free. The NPS has such six days in a calendar year that are marked for free entry, August 25 is one of them.

The other days are - National Public Lands Day (September 25); Veterans Day (November 11); Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January 18); first day of National Park Week (April 17); and one year anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act (August 4).
National Parks in the United States are some of the most treasured natural resources. A visit to an American national park is often an eye-opening experience. Most travellers tend to stick to the big cities, and go for the urban experiences. But going offbeat in America can be very rewarding.

It has been reported that since the parks have reopened, they have seen a surge in tourism. In fact, Yellowstone had 40 percent more visitors in April this year when compared to the same period in 2019. Not only Yellowstone, but also Grand Teton had a 48 percent increase in visitors, while Glacier National Park had a 50 percent jump in visitors.
