Make a Reservation

Day-use reservations for Yosemite National Park are available via Recreation.gov. For more information, please visit our Alert page.


Public Transportation

The YARTS bus runs year-round along Highway 140 from Merced, or from May to September along the following routes: Highway 41 from Fresno; Highway 120 from Sonora; Highway 120/395 from Mammoth Lakes. Each route ends in Yosemite Valley.

Advance reservations for summer service tickets on Highway 120, 140, and 41 are available now. Summer seats will require advance reservations, with a fraction of seats being available for same-day purchase.


Activities Outside the Park

While Yosemite National Park now requires reservations to enter during peak seasons, there’s no need to put your plans on hold. Tenaya at Yosemite offers easy access to stunning destinations just outside the park’s gates — no reservation required. From hidden lakes and scenic byways to lesser-known trailheads and mountain towns, these nearby gems deliver all the beauty and adventure without the wait.
