All in-park overnight lodging will be closed for incoming arrivals beginning on Monday, December 7, 2020 and will remain closed until further notice. All overnight camping within Yosemite National Park will be prohibited beginning on Monday, December 7, 2020 until further notice. This includes all park campgrounds, wilderness camping, and overnight use along climbing routes. Overnight backpacking trips into Yosemite’s wilderness will also be prohibited.
All visitors planning trips to Yosemite are asked to be our partner in recreating responsibly. Yosemite National Park conducts hundreds of search and rescue missions each year, many of which could be avoided with visitors planning and making responsible decisions. During the ongoing health crisis, it’s critical that we make wise choices to keep our park rangers and volunteers who serve as emergency responders out of harm’s way.
Please follow these #RecreateResponsibly tips: -Adopt social distancing practices and stay at least 6 feet from people outside your household unit -Wear a face covering when social distancing cannot be maintained. -Stay on the trail, for your safety and the safety of others -Stay within your limits. Yosemite is a great place to find outdoor adventure, but please don’t push your self beyond your physical limits.
The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners at Yosemite National Park is our number one priority. The NPS urges visitors to do their part when visiting a park and to follow CDC guidance to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by maintaining a safe distance between yourself and other groups; washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze; and most importantly, staying home if you feel sick.
Are park employees being furloughed?
Yep, sleeping outside in fresh air miles from any other person is obviously a public health hazard.
Get those people off the fitness trails and into the big box stores. Stat!
Shorter hours..same pay!
They cancelled a youth deer hunt here in my little spot in Tennessee. Young boys and their fathers sitting alone in the woods is a COVID hazard..... Yup, makes sense to me....
ridiculous...
On the other hand, maybe he won’t catch a cold...
Mainly, most government “workers”, as usual...don’t want to work. Apparently, they get paid no matter what. Pathetic beyond pathetic.
because CCPVirus only spreads at night
