Yosemite To Continue Half Dome Day Use Permits

Yosemite National Park announced it will require Day Use Permits seven days per week for climbing the Half Dome cables during the summer 2012 season. This is an extension of the interim permit system that was implemented beginning in 2010. Permits will be required seven days per week to ascend the Half Dome cables.

Applications for permits are available from March 1 through March 31. The park will allocate permits through a preseason lottery, a two-day in advance lottery, and as part of the Wilderness Permit process. Details regarding the lotteries and the wilderness process can be found at the park’s website at: www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/hdpermits.htm
