If you were looking for an excuse to enjoy a walk in a park, you’re in luck.

In observance of National Park Week, starting Saturday and running through 24, all park entrance fees for its 411 national sites will be waived.

To help visitors find the closest site to them, National Park Service unveiled FindYourPark earlier this year. The website maps everything from national scenic trails to national monuments across the country.

In case you need help planning your adventure during the National Park Week celebration, using the FindYourPark.Vegas tool, here are some parks and recreation areas located in or around Las Vegas.
