Monday January 18 is a National Parks Free Day due to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

THE FRESNO BEE

All national parks will offer free admission on 16 days next year to celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th birthday.

“We added extra fee-free days so that everyone has a chance to join the party,” park service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said in a news release.

The 16 free-entry days for 2016 will be:

Jan. 18, Martin Luther King Jr. Day
April 16-24, National Park Week
Aug. 25-28, National Park Service Birthday weekend
Sept. 24, National Public Lands Day
Nov. 11, Veterans Day
The waiver does not cover added fees such as camping, boat launches, transportation and special tours.

The park service officially turns 100 on Aug. 25. On that day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act that created the agency “to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for future generations.”

Now the only hard part is picking which park to visit. For help, go online to FindYourPark.com for a list of special centennial events across the country.

Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight!
The annual Perseid meteor shower should be visible in the night sky for the next few days, peaking late last night and this morning.

This should be a good year for viewing the Perseids as there should be little moonlight drown out the up to 100 meteors an hour the shower can produce.
