Do you Need Reservations for Yosemite in 2025?
You won’t need a Park Entrance Reservation/Peak-Hour Reservation if you have a reservation at The Redwoods In Yosemite,
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 hasn’t made an official announcement about the Yosemite reservation system for the 2025 summer season yet.
NPS is in the process of creating a Visitor Access Management Plan, which proposed summer reservations during the most crowded times. This process has been delayed, but we expect to have more details soon.
Fortunately, guests staying at The Redwoods In Yosemite Vacation Home Rentals don’t need to worry about the possibility of a reservation system because all of The Redwoods’ cabins are in Wawona, inside the park. The extra Yosemite peak-hour reservations aren’t required if you have lodging 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 and safe, get a lodging reservation inside the park so you don’t have to worry about any Yosemite day reservations that might be coming.
