LOS ANGELES — In a bid to fight long-standing troubles with summer congestion, Yosemite National Park will impose a peak-hour reservation system from May 20 through Sept. 30.
The reservations, which carry a $2 nonrefundable fee, will be available beginning 8 a.m. on March 23 through recreation.gov. Each reservation will be valid for three days.
The move, announced Wednesday, means that visitors will need a reservation to enter the park between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., seven days a week. The requirement includes annual and lifetime pass holders, and is in addition to the park's $35-per-car entrance fee (which is good for seven days).
