It also participates in the National Park Service’s volunteer programs, giving visitors opportunities to contribute to conservation, access parts of the park and information not usually seen by casual visitors, and earn hours toward a Volunteer Pass (which requires 250 hours and grants 12 months of free entry)." - Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler Opheli Garcia Lawler is a journalist with a decade of experience, half of which has been dedicated to covering the way we travel.
