National Park Week celebrates America’s national parks with free admittance, special programs, and events. Managing editor Tami Roleff says to get out your hiking boots…
National Park Week starts tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, and runs through April 25. National Park Week is a time to explore Joshua Tree National Park’s amazing places, discover stories of history and culture, and enjoy the beautiful park. Each day has a special theme; Saturday is Park Rx day.
Joshua Tree National Park—and all the other national parks—will have free admittance tomorrow only for Park Rx day, so everyone can give themselves the gift of good health by finding wellness in nature.
