Yosemite drive through permits
Just realized that this year you need a day pass to even drive through. I have a Inyo wilderness permit to hike from Rush Creek to Happy Isles. I have to enter Yosemite, leave a car at Happy Isles, drive through 120 and exit Tioga Pass and park another car at Silver lake and start the hike. Is my Inyo wilderness permit sufficient to enter Yosemite to leave a car at Happy Isles? Unfortunately, day permits are gone already for the day I am interested. If my Inyo wilderness permits don't work, then I have to leave a day early, enter the park after 4pm, leave my car and exit at night. Any advise? anand |
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.?

Ken, can you confirm that a wilderness permit for INYO National Forest is sufficient to allow a person to drive through Yosemite.
I found conflicting information on Yosemite's "Plan Your Visit" webpage.?? The way I read it, you need an entrance permit UNLESS you have a reservation or wilderness permit IN Yosemite.? Do I need a reservation to visit Yosemite?Yes, if you are driving a vehicle into or through Yosemite National Park between 6 am and 4 pm (peak hours), you must have one of the following with matching photo ID:
Do I need a reservation to drive into the park if I have a reservation for a campground or lodging accommodation located?outside?of Yosemite National Park?Yes. You must have a peak-hours reservation to drive a vehicle into the park unless you arrive before 6 am or after 4 pm. |
Yes, that is how I read it (Yosemite wilderness permit) and that is why I got the day pass. However, I am going to Yosemite this Saturday for overnight wilderness camping. I will ask the ranger?this specific question, if I don't call them beforehand and ask them.
