News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

The National Park Service, in partnership with the National Park Foundation, will be celebrating National Park Week, April 22 through April 30, with free admission and special events nationwide. With more than 400 national parks hosting a mix of special programs, activities and digital experiences, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation invite all to explore and enjoy national parks during this annual event. The week begins this Saturday, April 22, with free entrance to all national parks to kick off the celebration.

“Since Yellowstone National Park was established 150 years ago, over 400 extraordinary places have been added to the National Park System,” said National Park Service Director Chuck Sams. “Throughout the country, these sites are sources of inspiration, recreation, and education—each one preserving and sharing a part of our national story. I hope National Park Week provides a spark to visit a nearby national park and make some memories.”

With at least one in every state, national parks provide close-to-home opportunities to engage the senses and experience something different during each visit. Every park has remarkable features and lesser-known gems, so consider adding some new places to your bucket list and explore a path less taken! The best place to start any national park trip is with a stop at NPS.gov or the official NPS app. You can search for parks by state, activity, or topic and get the latest updates and details about each park. Involve the kids in planning your next park visit by using the new online Junior Ranger Park Explorer program “Ready, Set, Go” where they can complete activities and print a badge.

“National Park Week is a great time to explore a lesser-known site,” said National Park Foundation President and CEO Will Shafroth. “In 2021, most park visits occurred in just 25 parks. This National Park Week, try something new. There is so much beauty and cultural heritage to experience in your own backyard.”

The overall theme for this year’s National Park Week is “Your Park Story.” Throughout the week individual theme days highlight various ties that can help ensure the enjoyment of national parks for current and future visitors. You can follow NPS stories on social media using #YourParkStory, while sharing your own stories using #MyParkStory. For more information on the individual themes for each day, as well as events scheduled across the country, please click here.

As part of National Park Week I also wanted to let you know that my new book on the history of hiking, Ramble On: How Hiking Became One of the Most Popular Outdoor Activities in the World, will be on sale throughout the entire week. Beginning Saturday, and continuing through April 30th, both the paperback and eBook versions of Ramble On will be on sale at 50% off the regular price!

Also, throughout the week, I will be posting several hiking and national parks related anecdotes associated with each day’s theme on Twitter. You can follow me at @GlacierHiker1
