WEST GLACIER – You can visit Glacier National Park without paying an entrance fee this weekend.

Fact is, you can visit any of the nation’s 401 national parks for free this weekend. National Park Week across America kicks off with free admission both Saturday and Sunday.

Of course, the Glacier experience is limited this early in the year. It’s still more than two months before snow can be cleared from much of the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road.

But there is plenty of beauty accessible at lower elevations, including Lake McDonald on the west side of the park.

Other fee-free days at Glacier this year include Aug. 25 (birthday of the National Park Service), Sept. 27 (National Public Lands Day) and Nov. 11 (Veterans Day).

The theme for National Park Week this year is “Go Wild” for history, nature, culture, wildlife and fun in the country’s national parks.
