Planning Check List

Purchase your pass ahead of time at recreation.gov. This will help expedite the wait times at the entrance. Passes can also be purchased at any visitor center or entrance station.

If camping, reserve your campsite in advance. Nearly 85% of the 500+ campsites in the park are by reservation only. They can be booked on recreation.gov up to 6 months in advance. First-come, first-serve campsites fill up very quickly on holidays, most weekends, and the springtime.

Check out our current conditions webpage. This has up-to-date information on closures, restrictions, and advisories.

Check the weather forecast. It can range from blistering hot to freezing cold and can include gale-force winds, heavy rain, and snow.

Download the NPS app. You can find information on visitor centers, campgrounds, trails, things to do, and more. You can also download an offline map to use when you don't have cell phone reception.
