Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar recently announced that the NPS will offer three fee-free weekends this summer, “…to encourage Americans seeking affordable vacations to visit these national treasures.” Glacier National Park, one of 147 NPS sites across the country that charge entry fees, will waive entrance fees during the weekends of June 20-21, July 18-19 and Aug. 15-16. These fee-free weekends will be in addition to other fee-free days on National Public Lands Day, Sept. 26, and Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Glacier National Park will also offer a separate “Fee Free” day in conjunction with the park’s Centennial Kick-Off Celebration Picnic in the Park on Sunday, Aug. 23 being held at Lake McDonald Lodge and Glacier Park Lodge.
