2021 National Park Week
2021 National Park week begins on April 17th. That day is also a free entrance day so pick your favorite park and get outside.
The BARK ranger program is a pet awareness program set up by the National Park Service. Olympic National Park and Montezuma Castle are the two flagship parks where the program started in 2015. Since its inception, eleven additional parks are now participating in the program.
The program is similar to the junior ranger program. Once you sign your dog up at a participating park you can receive a special BARK ranger dog tag.
