"Memorial Day Weekend Travel: National Parks Prepare for Record Crowds and Low Gas Prices"

[!CDATA[Americans are expected to travel in record numbers this Memorial Day weekend, with gas prices at their lowest in years. National parks across the country are gearing up for an influx of visitors, with some warning of heavy traffic, limited parking, and crowded trails. Zion National Park, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands National Park are among those expecting large crowds. Arches National Park requires timed entry reservations for most visitors, with limited availability for the Memorial Day weekend. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California recommend purchasing park passes in advance to access pass-only lanes at entrance stations. Smaller National Park Service sites will host commemorative events for Memorial Day, including guided tours and ceremonies. Visitors are advised to be patient, stay on trails, and pack out any trash when visiting busy national parks.]]
