December 31, 2018 - Yosemite National Park reports the Park is very busy with limited services. Unless you already have a reservation and places to stay, if possible, consider planning a day-use-only trip to the park after the holiday week has ended.

The Hetch Hetchy area is now closed due to lack of restroom facilities and resulting impacts from human waste. As previously announced, Mariposa Grove area is closed (this includes trails leading into the grove). In order to avoid pedestrian-vehicle conflicts and additional human waste issues, do not enter these areas. People entering closed areas are being cited.
