"If you want to get outdoors, note that this year, Presidents Day falls on Monday, Feb. 16, when all national parks will be free to enter. But things are a bit different than in past years. This year, the freebie days are only for American legal residents. Foreigners will pay much higher fees. These freebies can save you $50, but you should definitely plan in advance and get up to go at the crack of dawn, before it gets crowded with sleepyheads."
"You don't need to sign up in advance, but make sure you don't need reservations (which you probably don't in February). Go to recreation.gov and search for the park you want and timed entry to find the reservation information. Here are the nine national parks in California: Channel Islands (the boat ride won't be free), Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Lassen, Pinnacles, Redwood, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and Yosemite."
Presidents Day falls on Monday, Feb. 16, and national park entry will be free for American legal residents that day. Foreign visitors must pay higher fees. The free entry can save about $50, but parks can get crowded, so visitors should plan ahead and arrive early. No advance sign-up is required in most cases, though some parks use timed-entry reservations listed on recreation.gov. California's nine national parks include Channel Islands, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Lassen, Pinnacles, Redwood, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and Yosemite. Yosemite, Lassen, and Kings Canyon are likely to remain snowy in February. The next free day is Memorial Day, May 25.
