May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country! ~Daniel Webster
The National Park Service will offer two fee-free weekends this winter to encourage Americans to visit these national treasures. There are 398 national park units located across the country in 49 states, and most Americans live less than a day's drive from a park.
National Park Service sites across the country that charge fees for entry will waive these entrance fees during the weekends of November 10-12, 2012 and January 19-21, 2013.
More information on the fees and discounts can be found at https://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparks.htm.
Capitol Reef National Park's visitor center will be closed on winter federal holidays including: Nov. 12, Nov. 22, Dec. 25, 2012; Jan. 1, Jan. 21, and Feb. 18, 2013. The park itself is open continuously.
The National Park Service website provides information to help the public plan their park adventures at www.nps.gov or contact us at 435-425-3791 and follow us on www.twitter.com/CapitolReefNPS and www.facebook.com/CapitolReefNPS.
