Making a Permit Reservation by Fax

It is no longer possible to make a reservation on line but it is possible to fax a permit request. This will not have the delay associated with ‘snail mail’, but you have no opportunity to ask questions about availability and so on. The form and instructions for its completion can be downloaded from www.nps.gov in the Plan Your Visit area under Yosemite.

Once completed the form must be faxed to (209) 372 0739 (preceded by the international code for the US, 001 from the UK). Provided a legible email address has been supplied, a confirmatory email will be sent within two business days but it will not show which of the dates applied for has been allocated. A confirmatory letter will confirm the date allocated. The availability of permits for various trailheads can also be checked out on this website.

A Yosemite permit reservation can be made up to 24 weeks (168 days), but no later than two days, in advance of your start date, but you are strongly recommended to obtain a permit as early as possible.
