PHOENIX – This November 11, Arizona State Parks and Trails is once again offering free day-use entrance to United States veterans, active duty military, and National Guard members. Service members and veterans must present military ID at the entrance gate for free admission.

Free entry for veterans and service members on Veterans Day includes up to three adults with the veteran. It does not include tours at Kartchner Caverns State Park and Riordan Mansion State Historic Park, camping, or other fee-based programs.

“Every November, we have the opportunity to thank service members for their dedication and commitment to our country,” said Arizona State Parks and Trails Executive Director Bob Broscheid. “We hope they are able to rest, recharge and enjoy the outdoors on Veterans Day in an Arizona state park.”

Year-round, Arizona State Parks and Trails provides a discount program for veterans, service members, and up to three accompanied adults. All active duty, reserves, and National Guard receive 50% off day-use entrance fees. U.S. military retired and service-connected disabled veterans also receive 50% off day-use entry, and 100% service-connected disabled veterans receive free park entry year-round.

Connecting people to the outdoors and history of Arizona to build a lifetime of memories.
