Question

Do I need reservations to get into Yosemite National Park?

Answer

As of January 2024, the Yosemite National Park is requiring that you make a reservation to get into the park to help with crowding and to keep the park a protected place. It is required that you have a reservation from 5 am to 4 pm on Saturday, October 5th and Sunday, October 6th. If you plan to enter the park before or after our wedding, you do not need a reservation for weekdays. If you do however, have a reservation to stay at the lodging options inside the National Park in the valley for instance, you do not need an additional reservation. If you don't have a reservation, you can still visit Yosemite. You must arrive at an entrance station (other than Hetch Hetchy) before 5 am or after 4 pm. You can visit the Hetch Hetchy area of the park when it is open (sunrise to sunset) without a reservation. You must make a reservation on recreation.gov. Reservations are available on January 5 for all arrival dates (April 13–October 27); these remain available until all are taken. The other option is to make one 7 days in advance (e.g., make a reservation for an arrival date of October 6 on September 29). Reservations are not available at entrance stations. You can check Recreation.gov before you arrive to the park to see if any reservations have become available due to cancellation. You must have one reservation per vehicle. This is a new system so please let us know if you have any questions, we are happy to help.
