Pictured are four of California’s most popular National Parks left to right: Sequoia-Kings Canyon | Yosemite | Joshua Tree | Lassen Volcanic National Park. If rate hikes are approved, it’s going to cost $70 to drive your car into any of these parks during peak season! If you walk in it will cost you $30! Are Californians getting priced out? In August 2017 the Senior park pass went from $10 to $80.<\/p>\n
If you think $70 is too high a price for park admission, you have a few days remaining (till Nov.23, 2017) to voice your opinion\u00a0 here: https:\/\/parkplanning.nps.gov\/document.cfm?documentID=81250<\/p>\n

In the winter the famed Bracebridge Dinner<\/a> take place inside the park at the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (formerly Ahwahnee.)<\/p>\n Lassen Volcanic National Park, named for the volcano which last erupted in 1915 with a blast that rose seven miles into the atmosphere, offers incredible experiences.
