The water at Lees Ferry is so clear sometimes you can spot monster fish lurking beneath the surface. Big brown trout, a European species with spotted sides and a mouth full of teeth. We ve seen a couple, says Samantha Peter, pointing out over the river, a whole bunch of them were right around there. Peter, Jessie Bootz, and Billy Hamill are on a family outing at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, trying to land the big one. They saw us too quick, huh, Peter jokes. You see them, they see you, Bootz replies.
The kids would rather squish in the mud, but Hamill is still hoping to reel in a brown. If he turns in the head and guts to the park service, he’ll get 33 dollars per fish. Maybe just get the experience, he says, I want to catch a brown trout, and maybe the trip can get paid for, you know?

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.

Today marks exactly one year since the US closed it s borders to UK citizens – since 3.59am on March 17 2020, no Britons have been allowed to set foot on US soil unless they are married to a US citizen or are a green card holder. Over the past year, there have been numerous times that travellers were given hope that this ban might be lifted, but to no avail, as political party changes and the vise of different variants put paid to any potential easing of the rules.
