According to officials, the pilot parking reservation program allows visitors the opportunity to guarantee a parking space in Yosemite Valley on four weekends in August. Visitors who do reserve parking will have a space until 4:00 p.m.
Reservations for 150 parking spaces can be made beginning June 21st by clicking here or calling 1-877-444-6777. Officials said there is no charge for day use but a reservation fee of $1.50 will be required per transaction.
All remaining parking spaces in the Yosemite Falls Parking Area will remain available on a first come, first served basis.
Currently reservations are only available to passenger vehicles up to 20 feet in length; parking spaces for RV's or trailer cannot be booked at this time.
Officials said the pilot program is part of a larger effort to evaluate traffic and parking management tools to improve the overall visitor experience in Yosemite National Park.
