On five select days throughout the year, Mesa Verde National Park joins the other National Park Service sites across the country in waiving entrance fee admission, allowing visitors to enjoy the parks for free.
One of those scheduled days is this Monday, Jan. 21, for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday. However, in light of the current government shutdown, it remains to be seen whether or not the park will be open at all.
