Yosemite Drive through
Last year, NPS issued a transit pass for people wanting to cross the Sierras on 120. It was a timed (4 hour), no stop pass.
I used this pass several times last year.
I think a copy of your permit

Early birds not only get the worm, but also can enter Yosemite without a day pass. 10pm-6am!

Re: Yosemite drive through permits
Yes, that is how I read it (Yosemite wilderness permit) and that is why I

Re: Yosemite drive through permits

Re: Yosemite drive through permits
You can enter on any of the 3 days for the permit. It's changed from a

pass.

Re: Yosemite drive through permits
Hi Ken
Thanks.
The day permit also has interesting wording. The permit is valid for 3 days from the day of the event , I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to enter that day.

Yikes - just read the responder¡¯s account of the situation - a lot more serious than I thought when I first heard the news. Hope he heals up well, sounds like it could have been a far worse outcome

To add to that last email, The footprint is for the trackers. Trailing dog teams should also be able to use footprints as well. I use them to confirm my dog's work. I.e. if my dog is working in an

OK, from a canine search and rescue perspective, which I was a trailing handler for 25 years, I did not talk about scent articles. Here is the scent article scoop. Only the subject should create the

Yeah, John had an angel on his shoulder that day. His rescuer was the right

Everyone- be careful out there.
