Heads Up
- 1. Yosemite requires peak-hour vehicle reservations during summer months; book well in advance.
- 2. Tioga Road and Glacier Point Road are typically closed from November through late May due to snow.
- 3. Carry plenty of water and be bear-aware; use provided food lockers at all trailheads and campsites.
- 4. Check current road conditions for the Generals Highway, as construction can cause significant delays.
