Healthier US Initiative
Fee Free Weekend in our National Parks
June 22 - 23, 2002

On this special weekend to promote a healthier America, President Bush, Secretary Norton, and I want to invite you to the National Parks. As part of our welcome, we have waived entrance fees to all National Parks that charge them. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to discover the benefits of improved health through physical activities and stress-reducing experiences that your National Parks provide.

While this is a special weekend, the National Parks are available for you 365 days a year. From Maine to Hawaii, Alaska to the Virgin Islands…America’s National Parks exercise your mind, body, and spirit.

See you in the Parks!
