(Phoenix, AZ – November 19, 2015) – In collaboration with outdoor specialty retailer REI, Arizona State Parks invites Arizonans to #optoutside on Black Friday! Visit an Arizona REI store from November 21-25, 2015 and receive a free day pass for entry into an Arizona State Park. There are four REI stores in Arizona: Flagstaff, Paradise Valley, Tempe, and Tucson.

  Park visitors opting to spend time outdoors rather than fighting the holiday shopping crowds can post photos of their experience at Facebook.com/azstateparks with the hashtag #optoutside. The ten photos that receive the most “likes” will win a free Arizona State Parks annual pass. The annual pass will give you entry to State Parks for one year.

  Get into the true spirit of the season and #optoutside.  Put off the holiday shopping, get outdoors, and burn-off those Thanksgiving calories by enjoying time with family and friends at one of your Arizona State Parks.

For information about all 28 Arizona State Parks, the Trails and Off-Highway Vehicle Programs and State Historic Preservation Office call (602) 542-4174 or (877) MY-PARKS. Campsite reservations can be made online at AZStateParks.com or by calling the Reservation Call Center at (520) 586-2283. Open 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST. Follow AZStateParks on Twitter and Facebook.
