Yosemite National Park Travel Information

Yosemite National Park Vacations & Travel Tips

When to Go

Yosemite National Park is open, and there are activities to be enjoyed in every season. However, some parts of the park, including the Tioga Road and the route to Glacier Point close in November.  Service along the Tioga Road is only available June through September.  The Yosemite Valley and Wawona remain open for visitors year-round 

In June, wildflowers bloom in the Yosemite Valley and Wawona; the subalpine flowers in the Tuolumne Meadows blossom later in the summer. Nearly three-quarters of the visitors to Yosemite arrive in the summer, so be prepared for slow-moving traffic and large crowds.  The shoulder season in spring and fall are great options for a visit, although the weather is more variable.
