Now that the summer vacation season is over and the pandemic "seems" to be abating, the reservation system implemented to enter Yosemite National Park during the summer has ended.
According to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat:
Reservations are no longer needed for visitors to enter Yosemite National Park.
Ticketed entry passes via recreation.gov had been required to enter the popular park in California for most visitors since May 21 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. That system was first implemented in the summer of 2020.
It was phased out Friday. On Oct. 1, Yosemite also unveiled a new exhibit to honor the historic contributions of Chinese immigrants in the park, and pledged to tell more diverse stories. Wawona's Pioneer Yosemite History Center was renamed to the Yosemite History Center as part of that ongoing effort.
Yosemite spokesperson Scott Gediman said park officials reported busy but manageable conditions since the day-use reservation system ended a few days ago.
