Free admission to Arizona s national parks this weekend: Here s where fees are waived Melissa Yeager, Arizona Republic
If you want to save a little money while having an outdoor adventure this weekend, the National Park Service is waiving admission fees on Saturday, April 17, which is the first day of National Park Week.
The park service is offering six get-in-the-park-free days in 2021. New on the list is Aug. 25 in honor of the 2020 Great American Outdoors Act, which allocated $6.5 billion for maintenance at 419 national parks nationwide.
On these six days, national parks that charge entrance fees will wave that cost. The fee waiver applies only to admission fees. Charges are still in place for camping, boat launches, tours and other activities and amenities that have a fee.

The land shrine to Trump’s harsh, nativist immigration policies would be dubbed the “Southern Border Wall National Monument.” The bill would designate the physical wall and nearby lands nearly 300,000 acres in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as a monument and “protect [them] from alteration,” according to the legislation.
In a statement announcing the bill, Cawthorn praised Trump’s efforts to make a secure southern border a “tangible reality” and slammed US President Joe Biden for his early executive order halting wall construction.

Occasionally, the hikers came across a piece of clothing, a water bottle, a backpack, or a .50 caliber bullet casing leftover from bombing and live-fire exercises at the nearby Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. But signs of human life are largely absent in this harsh and unforgiving landscape. The southern Arizona sun, 15 miles from the Mexico border, was brutally hot, even in the early hours of a March morning. The intimidating Growler Mountains loomed over the flat and exposed desert expanse from the east. Shade could be found under the sparse trees that lined a sprawling wash that snaked through the Growler Valley. But to reach the trees often meant passing through thickets of dry, thorny brush that surrounded them.
