KALISPELL, Mont. Glacier National Park officials say the park will waive entrance fees on six days this year.
The free days are part of an effort to “increase access, promote recreational opportunities, improve visitor facilities and conserve natural and historical treasures in national parks for the benefit and enjoyment of the American people,” officials said in a press release.
The entrance fee-free days for 2021 include January 18, which is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; April 17, which is the first day of National Park Week and August 4, the Great American Outdoors Act anniversary.
YEAR-AHEAD SERIES, DAY 8: Help from DC / Even after 2020, stage is set to build on successes
From the column: As we head into the new year, I look forward to working with all of you, and President-elect Joe Biden, to build upon our successes, move Minnesota forward, and create a nation that is even stronger, more resilient, and self-reliant than ever before.

Rep. Pete Stauber | 7:00 am, Jan. 2, 2021 ×
With a new Congress ahead, I find myself reflecting on my first term and looking forward to my second. Over the past two years, my staff and I have made it our priority to travel all over Minnesota’s 8th District to listen and learn from you. Together, we have worked hard, and, with assistance from the administration of President Donald Trump, we have shared many successes along the way.
The future Florida congressman joins a growing list of Republican lawmakers who have vowed to object to the final vote count, which awarded President-elect Joe Biden with 306 electoral votes to President Donald Trump s 232. The effort to challenge the Electoral College result is certain to fail and comes even though no evidence of widespread fraud has been presented in any of the Trump campaign s myriad election lawsuits, nor was any such evidence found in reviews by the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security.
CNN reported Thursday that Donalds could be joined in objecting to the result by as many as 140 of his Republican colleagues in the House. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said on the The Bulwark Podcast that he expects at least 100 GOP members of Congress to join the effort, which he called the undermining of democracy.
