Next week is National Park Week.

To celebrate, many national parks are offering two–that’s TWO–free entry weekends. This means you can #findyourpark for free on Aril 15th and 16th, and again on April 20th and 23rd. How exciting is that?

National Park Week is part of the work of our National Park Foundation, the organization that takes care of our parks and monuments for the generations to come.

Giveaways

We are celebrating the Foundation’s hard work with an Instagram giveaway of three–that’s THREE–Pendleton National Park stripe blankets.

Three winners will have their choice of any traditional park stripe blanket representing one of our our #pendle10parks.

You can see all the blankets at home in their parks in the video below. Which one speaks to your heart?

To recap, that’s one National Park Week, two free-entry National Park weekends, and three lucky winners of Pendleton National Park blankets. Got it? Whew!

So head over to Instagram to enter, and then head to the woods! Your parks are calling.
