Mammoth Is Interesting
Free Day In The Park
by Mammoth Local Staff

Yosemite National Park will waive its $20-per-vehicle entry fee on Saturday, Sept. 29, as part of the annual National Public Lands Day, a park spokesperson said.

Getting over Tioga Pass, however, might not be so easy, given a weather forecast that called for snow and gusty winds.

National Public Lands Day is the only time that entrance fees are waived systematically on public lands throughout the country. Normally, 147 of the country's 391 National Park Service sites charge entrance fees ranging from $3 to $25. The other 244 areas do not have entrance fees. U.S. veterans are admitted to national parks for free each year on Veteran's Day.

The other federal agencies not charging for admittance Saturday include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Forest Service.
