The National Park Service is waiving entrance fees at more than 100 national parks for two days starting this Saturday—and we want to help our readers get out and explore.
To celebrate the beauty and wonder of the parks, Moon is giving away two National Parks-related prizes to two lucky readers. The first place prize is a National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass ($80 value), the second place prize is a gift pack of three Moon National Park guidebooks ($54 value), including Moon Acadia National Park, Moon Yosemite, and Moon Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
To enter, simply email giveaway [at] moon [dot] com and tell us what your favorite National Park is—and why. Entries will be accepted thru 5pm CST on Sunday, Aug. 15th. Winners will be selected and announced on the Moon Staff Blog , and via the Moon Facebook and Twitter pages the week of Aug. 16th. Employees of the Perseus Books Group are not eligible to win.
We look forward to seeing your answers—and helping you further explore our amazing National Parks. If you’re looking for more inspiration, check out our National Parks activity ideas.
