Here is the Pacific Northwest we are lucky to be surrounded with amazing options for outdoor activities. Within an hour we can be hiking deep into an old growth forest or climbing mountains. One of the reasons we have this bounty available to us, is the commitment to preserve these green spaces for public use. In addition to the many state parks and community spaces, the National Parks System has several parks within driving distance with the most famous being Mt. Rainier and the Olympic National Park. This weekend, no matter where you are in the United States, you can enjoy these historic wonders for yourself. As part of it's 100th Birthday, the National Parks Service is opening all of it's parks for free! That's right, no entrance fee at the more than 400 National Parks throughout the country. So grab your hiking shoes, pack a lunch and go enjoy the tranquility of nature.
