The National Park Service will waive entrance fees Saturday at all national parks and recreation areas in honor of Veterans Day.

Day-use services at Grand Canyon National Park and other regional areas, will be free to visitors through business hours, excluding backcountry hiking and camping permits and vender/concessions services.

Park Service officials say traffic may be heavier than usual at national parks, monuments and recreation areas due to holiday travel and fee-waivers.
