The Grand Canyon.

National Parks across the state will waive their entrance fees Saturday and Sunday in honor of National Park Week.

The Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon Recreational Area are some of the participating parks.

Every spring, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation celebrate the country’s more than 400 national parks with fee-free days.
