On February 2, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) announced that masks are required at all national parks. “To protect the health of those who live, work, and visit America’s national parks, face masks are required in all NPS buildings and facilities,” according to a statement on the NPS website. “Masks are also required on NPS-managed lands when physical distancing cannot be maintained, including narrow or busy trails, overlooks, and historic homes.”
