National Parks-New Mask Mandate

Nothing new. Been that way at least since last fall (not sure the exact start).

Ironically, having visited over 15 National Parks & Monuments, the visitor centers were closed but every one had the gift shop open...which tells me it's mostly theater.

valhalla is right. I was at GCNP in May and masks were required inside and in larger groups.

Well first you have to be able to get in the park, after you pay a fee and hope you get an early time. We went to RMNP last summer and got a late entry because all the early ones were taken. We got there an hour early and they wouldn’t let us in, even though there was no line and barely any cars in line. As Valhalla said, it’s all for show!

This article is referring to a reinstatement of the policy. It had been lifted for vaccinated people: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/553876-biden-administration-lifts-mask-mandate-for-all-vaccinated-federal
