The fee waivers - one each month in June, July and August - will apply to all 391 national parks across the country, from Alaska to Florida. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the free weekends should help American families struggling with the recession afford a memorable vacation. All 147 Park Service sites that charge fees for entry will waive entrance fees from June 20-21, July 18-19 and August 15-16, Salazar said. Entry fees being waived range from $3 to $25. That does not apply to fees charged for camping, reservations, tours or concessions. Edited June 3, 2009 by Alpinfox Quote
