National Parks Break Record
Over 1 Million Visitors
Parks across the country seeing record numbers of visitors each month
The National Park Service has announced that over 1 million people visited national parks in the past month, breaking a record for the number of visitors in a single month. This is a significant increase from the same month last year, when only 800,000 people visited national parks.
The increase in visitors is likely due to several factors, including the growing popularity of national parks, the improving economy, and the National Park Service's "Every Kid in a Park" program, which provides free admission to national parks for fourth graders and their families.
The National Park Service is encouraging visitors to plan ahead and be prepared for crowds, especially during the summer months. Visitors should also be aware of the potential for wildlife encounters and should take precautions to avoid bears, coyotes, and other animals.
