General Information

There is a $20.00 entrance fee per vehicle collected at the entrance of the Park. Try to carpool if you can!

It is recommended that you carry tire chains in your vehicle between October and April. Under state regulations, any vehicle entering a signed chain control area must carry chains, even if their use is not mandatory at the time.

Gasoline is no longer available in Yosemite Valley. Gas is available at service stations near park entrances and in Wawona.

Please NEVER leave food or scented items in your vehicle. Bears are attracted to food and scented items (such as cosmetics, toiletries as well as empty food or beverage containers). Food may be stored in hotel rooms and hard-sided cabins, if windows are closed when room is unoccupied by guests.
