If getting outdoors is a 2020 priority, we’ve got some great news: This upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, Jan. 20), all entrance fees for every single national park will be waived. As the National Park Service (NPS) does every year, it designates a handful of days throughout the year as “fee-free” days to all visitors.
