National Park Service announces fee-free days for 2022
The National Park Service offers entrance fee-free days every year, and 2022 is no exception.
The entrance-free dates for 2022 are:
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - Monday, January 17
- First Day of National Park Week - Saturday, April 16
- Great American Outdoors Act Anniversary - Thursday, August 4
- National Public Lands Day - Saturday, September 24
- Veterans Day - Friday, November 11
“Whether on an entrance fee-free day or throughout the year, we encourage everyone to discover their national parks and the benefits that come from spending time outdoors,” said National Park Service Director Chuck Sams. “National parks are for everyone and we are committed to increasing access and providing opportunities for all to experience the sense of wonder, awe and refreshment that comes with a visit to these treasured landscapes and sites.”
Activities within the parks (camping, boat launching, special tours, etc.) may still incur standard fees; the entrance fee waiver is only for … well, the entrance fee.
Within the state of California, there are 28 National Parks, 10 Wild & Scenic Rivers, and National Recreation Areas all managed by the National Park Service (including the Mojave National Preserve and Death Valley National Park - two GREAT places with AWESOME trails, and home to the Cal4Wheel Death Valley Experience!) #nationalparkservice #cal4wheel #dve2022 #deathvalleyexperience

Lassen-Applegate Emigrant Trail Ride
TA, 6000 E Frontage Rd, Mill City, NV 89418, USA
In search of the Forty-Niners – This is a guided 4-wheel drive tour of the 1849 wagon route used by thousands of emigrants from Gerlach, Nevada to Surprise Valley, California. Superb desert and mountain scenery with many historical points of interest, led by experienced guides. All quality meals and basic camping facilities are provided. Limited to 25 vehicles.
This is a 4WD trip for high clearance 4WD vehicles only. The route used will follow the same trail heavily used during the Gold Rush (1849-1852) with exception of a few areas where the original trail still remains in relatively pristine condition and needs to be preserved. The condition of the road ranges from maintained county roads to un-maintained 4WD trails.
The Emigrants wrote in their diaries such a good description of this trip that we can identify all of the key points of interest in the history of the route. It is not a difficult trip but there are places where 4WD will be required or where trail committee instructions must be followed.
The price is $275* for adults and $150* for children age 7 to 14. Children under 7 are free. Bring your own tent, chairs, sleeping bags, snacks, refreshments and plenty of drinking water. A travel guide with a map will be provided for each vehicle so that you may keep track of your progress and learn what the emigrants wrote down about their harrowing experiences.
