National Parks Ease Restrictions: Timed-Entry Reservations Dropped for Popular Spots
Popular national parks like Yosemite, Glacier, Arches, and Mount Rainier are dropping their timed-entry reservation systems this summer, aiming to boost access during peak times. The National Park Service is shifting from reservations to targeted tools like better parking management. Yosemite plans active oversight and extra staff, while Arches may limit access to full parking areas. Glacier will cap parking at Logan Pass and test a shuttle service. The move aims to improve visitor experiences by easing parking hunts and traffic jams, but some politicians argue reservations are too restrictive. To beat the rush, consider visiting before sunrise or in late August through mid-September, and explore alternative entrances or nearby national forests and monuments.
