No plans this weekend? Yosemite just dropped its reservations system ahead of schedule – here's everything you need to know

El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, in golden evening light.

Summer might be over, but if you're still itching to get out in your hiking boots and explore, Yosemite National Park just threw its doors wide open.

The busy National Park announced this week that it was dropping its reservations system two weeks ahead of schedule. During the summer months, a reservation is required to enter the park between 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. on a timed entry system to help control crowds and traffic, but now you can drive in at any time and explore some of the best hikes in Yosemite (and the world, for that matter).
