This Saturday is 4/20, and the national parks are encouraging you to get high on the outdoors with an entrance fee free day (it's also the first day of National Parks Week). Pack up the car and head to the one-and-only Crater Lake, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in adorable Astoria, or Fort Vancouver just across the Washington border.
