Yosemite has changed the walk-up permit procedure for 2022. They will be available on-line 7 to 3 days before start. Remaining permits will be available only on the start date, NOT the day before. You will new to have a park reservation or arrive before 6 AM to enter the park.

I have to imagine that in addition to on-the-day walk ups for any *unreserved* permits, they would also release any reserved but *unclaimed* permits? I.e. reserved permits that are not picked up by 10am on the start date? Not sure how many reservations go unclaimed, but that’s how I got my 2017 permit out of HI. Seems like that would be the fate of permits where someone gets a better date and never bothers to release the first one.

one of the features of Rec.gov is that it doesn’t let you hold 2 permits with overlapping dates so hopefully they’ll make people update/report but maybe they’ll just go old style on the walkups and miss that feature

Overlapping permits were possible when I reserved on February 18. I reserved a permit but then saw a better one which I jumped on and reserved. The system allowed both. Of course, I promptly cancelled the one I wasn’t going to use.

It was a long time ago, but in August 2013, there were a lot of unclaimed HI permits when I showed up to pick up my GP permit around 2 pm on a weekday afternoon. I was amazed that I could switch to the “golden ticket” of Happy Isles to Whitney Portal.?

Due to the economics of permits being low cost (something I support), the unfortunate side effect is that I’m sure many go unclaimed.?
