Beat the heat with fee-free weekends at Mt. Rainier

Where's the perfect place to go on a hot, hot western Washington day? Take a drive to Mt. Rainier.

And now, for the economy-minded, Mt. Rainier and other national parks are offering fee-free weekends. July 18-19 and August 15-16, 2009 will be free, as well as dates in the fall.

If you have time for a short vacation, check out the lodging specials on the Mount Rainier Visitor Association website. Most require a stay of three or four nights in order to get a discounted rate. The site lists a multitude of lodging options for the rugged and less-rugged traveler.

There are dining options in smaller towns outside the park, as well as a few restaurants and food stands in the park. The essential to budget travel is to plan in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Arranging and expending our travel budget wisely is a consideration for most families. Curbing spending and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind protecting money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!. But, there is nothing better than packing your own lunch and enjoying the view at one of the park's many picnic sites.

So pack the cooler, pull out the hiking boots, and leave the heat behind.
