P ERMIT INFORMATION: To reserve an overnight permit originating in Yosemite, call
the Yosemite Wilderness Center at [phone] (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday), or reserve online at www.yosemite.org/visitor/wild.html . You can
also mail an application to Wilderness Reservations, Yosemite Association, P.O. Box
545, Yosemite, CA 95389. For any of these methods, you will need to provide the fol-
lowing information: your name; address; daytime phone number; number of people
in the party; method of travel (foot); number of stock (if applicable); start and end
dates; entry and exit trailheads (Tuolumne Meadows entry, Red's Meadow exit);
principal destination; credit-card number and expiration date, money order, or
check for a nonrefundable $5-per-person processing fee.
If you haven't reserved a permit in advance, you could also try for a walk-in
permit at the Tuolumne Meadows Wilderness Center, located off Tioga Road in the
parking lot before the Tuolumne Lodge (open seasonally 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). About 40
percent of all permits are set aside for walk-ins, but these go quickly during the sum-
mer months.
