National Parks across the U.S. will offer free admittance August 14-15

Normally, 146 of 392 national parks charge entrance fees ranging from $3 to $25. The other 246 do not charge for admission. The fee free waiver for these two days does not include other fees collected in advance or by contractors—such as fees charged for camping, reservations and use of concessions.

In Minnesota, Pipestone National Monument charges $3.00 per person for use of any park feature including the Visitor Center, the Circle Trail, and the Three Maidens Picnic Area. Visitors are required to purchase or present a valid pass at the Visitor Center.

Plan a trip to Pipestone.  For more information about the park and surrounding area go to http://www.nps.gov/pipe/index.htm.
