To celebrate the coming of summer, the National Park Service is waiving entrance fees at all parks on June 5 and 6.
The National Park Service entrance fees will also be waived on Aug. 14 and 15; Sept. 25 and Nov. 11. Fees for activities such as camping, reservations, tours, or concessions are not affected by the entrance fee waiver.
There are 147 parks that normally charge entrance fees ranging from $3 to $25. The other 245 national parks do not charge entrance fees, so you can plan inexpensive visits year round.

The state of Utah boasts some of the most incredible national parks -- Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, the north rim of the Grand Canyon and Zion.
