August 1, 2020 - On August 1 at 7:00 A.M. Pacific daylight time, the first 80% of day-use reservations for September will become available.

The remaining 20% of reservations for each day continue to become available 2 days in advance of the date at 7:00 A.M.PDT.

Reservations can sell out within seconds so make sure you’re logged in to your recreation.gov account and ready to go before 7:00 A.M. PDT.

Other tips:

- Enlist others in your group to go online as well to try to secure the reservation.

- Be flexible on dates, weekends sell out faster than weekdays.

- Create a backup plan! YARTS is operating and can bring you to Yosemite. Reservations are not required but recommended. Visit yarts.com for schedules and bookings.
