National Park Fee Free day will be this Saturday, September 29th!
This Fee Free Day, is in celebration of National Public Lands Day, and the National Park Service is waiving entrance fees at 100 national parks. These parks generally charge entrance and parking fees, but they will be FREE this Saturday!
If you want to volunteer in support of National Public Lands Day, you can earn a coupon for FREE entrance on another day! Each fee-free coupon is good for one day of entrance fees or day use fees until Saturday, September 28, 2013. At some public lands, this can include accompanying passengers in a car. The coupons cannot be used for parking, camping, tours or concessions.
If you are not able to take advantage of this weeks fee free days, there will be others this year. They are:
- November 10-12 – Veterans Day weekend

Hi,
I have been following your blog and i find it so informative.
I am new here in WA (Port Orchard), I came from a country where there are only 2 seasons. summer and rainy days :-D.. I’ve been seeing a lot of nice photos of the fall season, with the leaves of different colors and it really amazes me. Would you happen to know a place or a park where there are really trees of changing colors? I would appreciate it if you could give me some list.
Thanks! :-)
The Seattle Arboretum (near University of Washington) is beautiful during the fall, Janet. My family loves to go there & take walks around the paths – it’s free & just gorgeous!! We get some beautiful pictures. That’s definitely my favorite place around & we’ll make the drive up to Seattle just for that!
Hi Jen,
Thanks for replying :-)
I tried searching it on the internet, is it the “Washington Park Arboretum”?
When do you think is the perfect day to visit there? Do they have the changing colors by this time, or should I wait for a few more weeks?
Thanks again.. :-)
