If you have a reservation at The Redwoods In Yosemite, you don’t need a Park Entrance Reservation.
For those not staying inside the park, park entrance reservations will be required 24 hours/day for select dates in February 2025 to manage traffic relating to Horsetail Fall aka the Natural Firefall – even if you aren’t planning to go to Yosemite Valley for the spectacle.
- February 8 – 23 on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and Washington’s birthday (Feb. 17).
NPS has yet to make an official announcement about reservations during the 2025 summer season, but they are in the process of creating a Visitor Access Management Plan which is likely to require summer reservations during the most crowded times. We expect to have more details by the end of 2024.
Fortunately, guests staying at The Redwoods In Yosemite Vacation Home Rentals, are not subject to this reservation system because all cabins are in Wawona, inside the park. Plus, if you want a longer visit, your entry privileges extend for the entire duration of your cabin reservation, not just the three days of the park entrance reservation.
So, if you want to keep things simple, get the lodging reservation that allows you to skip the park entrance reservation process entirely.
