Support your parks

Due to the federal government shutdown beginning October 1, the National Park Service may close most of its park facilities. While the shutdown continues, if a park's visitor center is closed, our park store in the visitor center will remain closed. For the most updated information on visitor center and/or park closures please visit www.nps.gov and search for an individual park. 

This means parks need your support more than ever. Since 1938, WNP has been a proud nonprofit partner of the National Park Service. With your support, we have provided more than $162 million in aid to parks, serving 72 national park sites across 12 Western states and helping visitors connect more deeply with nature, history, and each other. Your gift helps provide the essential programs, tools, and people that bring parks to life.
