Seasonal Information

Rivers & Waterfalls: Vernal, Nevada, and Bridalveil Falls have minimal
water flow and are well below peak flows for the year. Yosemite Falls
is dry.
Bears: Bears are becoming active, both day and night: be sure to store
your food properly and to remain at least 50 yards from bears in
forest and meadows.
Fire & Smoke: Prescribed fires and pile burning are scheduled this summer.

Estimated opening and closing dates in 2013 for all campgrounds are available.
Reservations are available up to five months in advance and are
strongly recommended. If you don't have a reservation, get details
about camping without a reservation.

Trails and Wilderness

Trails in Yosemite may be closed when there are hidden hazards or when
they are impassable due to rock fall, snow, ice, or fire. Open trails
aren't necessarily free of hazards--by entering the wilderness, you
assume responsibility for your safety and must use good judgment.
Trails not listed below are open, but may be snowy and very difficult
to find from about November through May/June (and may have other
hazards).

The Half Dome cables are up through October 14. A permit is required
to hike to the top of Half Dome when the cables are up.
Climbing closures are in effect on several routes each year from March
1 through Aug. 1 to protect peregrine falcons.
