Yosemite National Park

Hiking and Backpacking Information

Half Dome

Hi Folks!

You can find links to the Half Dome Time-Lapse movies at HalfDome.net.

I am off to hike the John Muir Trail this summer, so I thought I would post some of my online resources for hiking and backpacking in Yosemite National Park. Enjoy!

  • Permits: (NPS) Free wilderness permits are required year-round for any overnight stay in the Yosemite Wilderness. Permits are not required for day hikes. You can make a permit reservation up to 24 weeks (168 days), but no later than two days, in advance of your start date. Of each daily quota for a trailhead, 60 percent can be reserved ahead of time while the remaining 40 percent is available on a first-come, first-served basis one day prior to, or the same day as, the beginning of your hike.
