There are several tips found in the Yosemite Guide Book on planning your visit to this national park.  I found some of the following tips particularly helpful.  To plan your visit you may use this guide in conjunction with the park newspaper, “Yosemite Today.” 

 

Planning Entrance Fees: 

The park entrance fee applies to all visitors. If you arrive in your private car, the entrance fee is $20 per car, is valid for seven days, and includes all occupants of the car. 

 

Getting around Yosemite: 

A Yosemite Accessibility Guide available at the entrance stations, visitors centers and lodging facilities park wide. 

 

Yosemite Weather: 

Yosemite typically enjoys a warm, dry summer; mild, pleasant spring and fall and a cool winter.  Higher elevations receive the great deal of snow, but the Valley tends to get far less.  One should be prepared for any type of weather no matter what season it is by dressing in layers of clothing.  Carry a sweater or jacket wherever you go.  

 

Lodging: 

A variety of lodging facilities are found throughout Yosemite National Park.  Most accommodations have a few accessible rooms for visitors with disabilities, be sure to specifically request accessible lodging if needed.
