The Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior are dropping entrance fees during Martin Luther King Jr.’s weekend.

That means admission is free to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Death Valley and other national parks Saturday through Monday.

They also will waive recreation-related fees for visitors to the National System of Public Lands on Get Outdoors Day (June 9), National Public Lands Day (Sept. 29) and Veteran’s Day weekend (Nov. 10 to 12). Other fees, such as overnight camping, cabin rentals and group day use, will remain in effect.
