August 15th and 16th, 147 parks are waiving the entrace fee, saving families anywhere from $3 to $25 on a visit to some pretty spectacular wonders, like the "three parks in one" of Big Bend National Park in Texas, or the rugged Maine coast line of Acadia National Park.
President Obama is taking his family with him on a tour of several western parks this week, including the very first one, Yellowstone National Park, which was established in 1872. The first family will also be part of the reason for those long lines at the Grand Canyon, but believe me the view is totally worth the wait!
Most Americans are lucky enough to have a park within one day's driving distance from their home, according to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. To find one near you, check out the "find a park" function on the National Park Service website.
Remember to bring your camera!
