今年在美国国家公园的免费日你能看到什么

The United States has so many national parks and protected wilderness areas to explore, but some of those spots have entrance fees or activities fees. While the fees help to support the sites, they can sometimes sting the wallet.

美国有许多国家公园和受保护的荒野地区可供探索，但有些地方收取门票或活动费。虽然这些费用有助于支持这些网站，但有时也会让钱包变瘪。

Luckily, sites managed by agencies like the National Parks Service, the National Wildlife Refuge and even the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers offer fee-free days so visitors can take in the wonders of our country at the price that works for any family budget.

幸运的是，由国家公园管理局、国家野生动物保护区、甚至美国陆军工程兵团等机构管理的景点都提供免费参观日，这样游客就能以适合任何家庭预算的价格欣赏我们国家的奇观。

Only 110 of the 419 parks managed by the NPS charge entrance fees in the first place, meaning plenty of the sites are free every day. Entrance fee-free days, however, offer a great opportunity to explore old favorites or discover a new wonder, like Isle Royal National Park, an island smack in the middle of Lake Superior in Michigan as you can see in the photo above. Hiking, camping and scuba diving are just some of the activities available at this remote locale.

国家公园管理局管理的419个公园中，只有110个首先收取门票，这意味着很多公园每天都是免费的。入口免费的日子，然而，提供了一个伟大的机会来探索旧的最爱或发现一个新的奇迹，如皇家岛国家公园，在密歇根州的苏必利尔湖中部的一个岛屿，你可以在上面的照片中看到。徒步旅行、露营和水肺潜水只是这个偏远地区的一些活动。

拉森火山国家公园

Lassen Volcanic National Park in California allows visitors to explore painted sand dunes, volcanoes, hydro-thermal areas and boiling mud pits. It's also a park that doesn't receive as many visitors as some other better-known parks. You can hike through the park along 150 miles of trails, or simply take a driving tour along the 30-mile Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway.

加州拉森火山国家公园允许游客探索彩色沙丘、火山、水热区和沸腾的泥浆坑。这个公园接待的游客也不像其他一些知名公园那么多。你可以沿着150英里的步道徒步穿过公园，也可以沿着30英里长的拉森火山国家公园高速公路驾车游览。

There's more to the National Parks Service than the great outdoors. If you're in New Jersey, consider visiting the Thomas Edison National Historical Park. This NPS-managed site preserves 20,000 square feet of Thomas Edison's laboratories and the Glenmont estate where Edison lived. You also can take in a bit of movie history by visiting the Black Maria, the studio where some of the first moving pictures in American history were filmed.

国家公园的服务远不止于户外。如果你在新泽西，可以考虑参观托马斯爱迪生国家历史公园。这个由国家公园管理局管理的地方保存着2万平方英尺的托马斯·爱迪生实验室和爱迪生曾经居住过的格伦蒙特庄园。你也可以通过参观“黑玛利亚”摄影棚来了解一点电影历史，美国历史上最早的一些电影就是在这个摄影棚拍摄的。

Dry Tortugas National Park

干托图加斯国家公园

At Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida, you can get both history and the outdoors in the same park. Getting to this park requires special planning due to its isolated location, but it's worth the effort to see Fort Jefferson, go snorkeling and camp in a unique part of the NPS.

在佛罗里达的干托图加斯国家公园，你可以在同一个公园里看到历史和户外。由于它的位置偏僻，要到达这个公园需要特别的规划，但值得一看的是杰佛逊堡，去浮潜和露营在一个独特的NPS的一部分。

As a reminder, the fee wavier is just for the entrance fee to a national park site. All amenity or user fees, like camping, boat launching or special tours, are still in place on fee-free days.

提醒一下，这个费用只是国家公园的门票。所有设施或用户费用，如露营、乘船下水或特殊旅游，在免费的日子仍然存在。
