"It's our way to encourage people to maybe visit a park that's been on their list and then provide that little bit of incentive to go ahead and check it out and discover what there is to see and do in that park," Kupper told The National Desk. Aside from the popular ones that people visit as part of their big destination vacation, there are also parks that offer an experience where little planning is needed.
The National Park website has a list of all of its parks. On the website or app, the public can find out what national park is"So everything from concerts and festivals to night sky programs will be happening," said Kupper.
