Yosemite National Park will once again open its doors to the spontaneous as officials announced reservations would not be required in summer 2023.
Following the pandemic, the National Park Service instituted a reservation to limit contact between visitors. In 2022, they continued the system as infrastructure repairs were made.
“Reservations will not be required to visit Yosemite National Park during the summer of 2023. Reservations were required in the summers of 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic and in summer 2022 when numerous key visitor attractions were closed for critical infrastructure repairs,” according to a statement on the National Parks Service website.
Work is expected to continue on Glacier Point Road until spring 2023
