Some good news from Yosemite National Park.
The park has ended its day-use reservation system.
According to Travel + Leisure:
Yosemite National Park has ended its day-use reservation system, allowing visitors to enter the park without any pre-required paperwork.
The reservation system had been put in place to manage traffic flow during the COVID-19 pandemic from June 11 through Oct. 31, 2020, and again from Feb. 8 through Feb. 28, 2021.
"This helped reduce overcrowding at the park's most popular destinations," according to the National Park Service (NPS) website. "The park aimed to increase public access while providing visitors with a reasonable opportunity to comply with health guidelines."
The reservation system limited the number of cars that could enter the national park but did not cap the number of visitors.
While visitors are no longer required to make reservations, they must still take pandemic safety precautions when visiting Yosemite, including social distancing on trails and wearing a face mask.
Campgrounds that do not allow for social distancing between campers remain closed. Advance registration for camping is required if you intend on staying overnight in Yosemite.
