With Mariposa County moving to the Yellow Tier in California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy, we will be releasing an additional 400 to 500 day-use reservations per day.
These additional reservations for arrivals from May 28 through June 2 will become available today (Thursday, May 27) at 8 am PDT.
Additional reservations for arrivals from June 3 through September 30 will become available seven days in advance at 8 am PDT. You can make a reservation at https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745.
A reservation is required to drive into Yosemite through September 30. Learn more about the different kinds of reservations at https://go.nps.gov/reserve.
Tioga Road (the continuation of Highway 120 through the park) opens for the season today.
Even with the reservation system in place, we expect a relatively busy Memorial Day weekend. Avoid delays by arriving by mid-morning. Please #RecreateResponsibly!
