It is not possible to make campground reservations at this time. A new company has been selected to handle campground reservations for Yosemite National Park. The new reservation system is anticipated to be up and running by March 15, 1998. The Four Mile Trail from Yosemite Valley to Glacier Point, the Mist Trail from the Vernal Fall Footbridge to the top of Vernal Fall, and the John Muir Trail from the top of Vernal Fall to the top of Nevada Fall are closed for the winter. Both falls are still accessible via winter routes.
