National Parks Will Waive Entrance Fees On Veterans Day
Sonora, CA — In honor of Veterans Day this coming Monday, national parks, like Yosemite, will allow everyone to enter free of charge.
Yosemite typically charges $35 per car. This time of the year, Yosemite does not require reservations.
“We’re excited for members of the public to discover national parks on Veteran’s Day, and especially invite current military and their dependents, veterans, and Gold Star Families to get a Military Pass to get free entrance to parks any day,” says Director Chuck Sams. “As a veteran, it is fantastic to see other veterans and their loved ones explore parks, learn about our nation’s history, and find peace in the outdoors.”
In addition, many California State Parks, like Calaveras Big Trees, are waiving entrance fees specifically for Veterans. At state parks, veterans, or active military members, will be asked to show a valid military ID or California Drivers License identifying the individual as a Veteran.
