If you’re viewing this from somewhere in the U.S., load up your Gregory pack this weekend and head out to your nearest park to celebrate the fact t
hat we’ve got some 84 million acre of national park land to recreate in. Or, heck, if you’re not in the U.S., go to your nearest park or trailhead and celebrate anyway. Any excuse to get outdoors …
It’s National Park Week starting tomorrow, April 18, and national (and state) parks around the country are will be hosting special events this weekend and over the coming week.
In Gregory’s backyard of northern California, numerous parks are offering educational events for kids (do they have day care so parents can slip away for short hike?) as well as adults, and ways to help give back through field projects and cleanups. Here’s a few of the specifics.
I think Monday’s a holiday, right?
