YOSEMITE VALLEY, Calif. — From May 20 through Sept. 30, reservations will be needed to drive into Yosemite National Park between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. to fight congestion.
Visitors driving through the park will also need a reservation and many key visitor attractions are closed for repairs.
Most reservation dates will be released on Recreation.gov on March 23, while the other 30% of available reservations will be released seven days before the arrival date of a planned trip.
The National Park Service advises having an account logged in and ready to go at 8 a.m. on March 23 because reservations are taken almost immediately.
A non-refundable reservation fee is $2, not including the $35-per-car park entrance fee.
