Entry to Colorado\u2019s national parks and monuments will be free on Tuesday to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the National Park Service.<\/p>\n

Originally created on Aug. 25, 1916, the National Park Service\u2019s purpose is to \u201cpreserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colorado is home to four national parks \u2014 Rocky Mountain, Mesa Verde, Great Sand Dunes and Black Canyon of the Gunnison \u2014 and an additional 13 national monuments, trails and historic sites that are overseen by the National Park Service. All of those will be accessible for free this week. (If you want to visit Rocky Mountain National Park, however, you still need a timed reservation.)<\/p>\n

The National Park Service\u2019s birthday celebration is part of a bigger National Park Week, which includes themed days through Sunday, such as Watch Wildlife Wednesday and Freedom Friday.<\/p>\n
