Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole Welcomes Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park Visitors for Fee-Free National Public Lands Day

Jackson, Wyoming- September 25, 2012- On September 29, 2012, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park will offer fee-free admission for all in honor of National Public Lands Day (NPLD). Jackson Hole's Wyoming Inn welcomes visitors to the area with low fall rates and encourages guests to visit the nearby parks.

"September is a beautiful time of year to visit Jackson Hole," says Wyoming Inn General Manager Michael Solis. "The Wyoming Inn offers a great location, easily accessible from Grand Teton National Park, as well as providing a great home base before entering or after leaving Yellowstone National Park and a gracious staff ready to assist with information and directions."

National Public Lands Day is an effort taking place at more than 2,100 sites to sustain U.S. parks, beaches, forests and other lands conserved and used for outdoor recreation, education and enjoyment. Many of the sites are offering volunteer activities with more than 170,000 volunteers of all ages expected on NPLD. In addition to the free September 29 admission, volunteers can get a fee-free coupon good for one day of free entry to any participating federal public land throughout the year. There are now NPLD sites registered in every state, the District of Columbia and many U.S. territories. NPLD last year contributed an estimated $17 million in volunteer services to public lands, which included planting about 100,000 trees, shrubs and other native plants, as well as building and maintaining approximately 1,500 miles of trails.
