National
Park Week
April
17-24, 2004
National Park Week is an annual Presidentially proclaimed week for celebration and recognition of America’s national parks. While in Yosemite, check local posters for a variety of events taking place, including a free performance of actor Lee Stetson , as he portrays John Muir on what would have been Muir’s 166th birthday! The event takes place April 21 at 8:00 p.m. at the Valley Visitor Center Theater.
National parks are your places, preserved for the American people so that all may experience our heritage. The 387 units in the National Park System are living examples of the best this nation has to offer—our magnificent natural landscapes and our varied yet interrelated heritage. Parks can provide recreational experiences, opportunities to learn and grow, and places of quiet refuge.
This year, take a moment, an hour, a day to visit Yosemite or any national
park near you. For more information about National Park Week, visit www.nps.gov/npweek.
