In addition to celebrating the opening of Tioga Pass this Saturday June 5, at 8am, be sure to celebrate National Trails Day! In honor of National Trails Day, entrance to South Tufa and Yosemite National Park is free this weekend, on Saturday June 5 and Sunday June 6. Catch a free one hour tour of South Tufa at 1pm both Saturday and Sunday or explore the tufa groves on your own self-guided walk.

The first Saturday in June, National Trails Day is intended as an opportunity for everyone to enjoy their public lands, and celebrate the many volunteers who work to build and maintain the 200,000 miles of trails in the United States. You can learn more about National Trails Day from the American Hiking Society here.

Several other free entrance days to Yosemite National Park are planned for 2010 including August 14-15, September 25 (Public Lands Day), and November 11 (Veterans Day).
