All park roads are open for the season.
All entrances to Yosemite National Park are open 24 hours a day, weather permitting. Reservations are not needed to enter the park in 1998. Private vehicles are allowed to drive into and around Yosemite Valley. Day use visitors to the park may experience periods of restricted access at any busy time during the summer to allow congestion to dissipate. These delays may last from thirty minutes to several hours and assure that resources are protected and visitors receive a quality experience.
