Because of the starving economy, regular park-goers will know that being
one with nature comes with a bigger price tag now. In order to get into
a park like Yosemite would cost you something around the region of $20
per car...which isn't much when shared out but compared to prices of
yonder years, it's quite a price hike.
Therefore, the following weekends in August is fine time for nature lovers, photographers, tourists and local holiday-goers and merry-makers to hit the parks because there will be free admissions into many famous national parks in and around Sacramento. They are all happening at different times so you might want to Google them up.
Participating parks includes popular ones like Yosemite National Park, Lava Beds National Monument, Sequoia National Park, Muir Woods National Monument and many, many more! Oh, this is absolutely something to look forward to for the coming weekends!
Foreign tourists, here is a note for you: you can't visit Sacramento without visiting the parks – they are almost wordlessly gorgeous and you will have a memory-stick full of wonderful and memorable pictures to take home with you. Unlike the busy, bustling city center, the parks are serene places that will take you into another world where stress is non-existent.
On top of the free admission, the concessionaires around the Sacramento parks are also giving their own special discounts to visitors too. More than a hundred different national parks all around the country is in on the free admission weekend.
One good example of a fantastic park in and around Sacramento CA is the Joshua Tree Park. Yes, from a far, it looks like nothing more than just a desert. But upon a closer look, you will discover the animals and plants that prefer to keep themselves away from the limelight.
Death Valley, in the meantime, is known as the hottest and driest park in the whole state. Some may beg to differ but it is definitely worth the trip to see the snow-capped mountains cheering you on, endless amount of wilderness, the canyons that perceptively floats and the rocks with colors you have never seen before in your life.
So, what are you waiting for. Time to call a few friends, hook up with a good Sacramento CA charter bus rental company, block off a weekend and head outdoors!
