Operative words
Yosemite National Park will implement a temporary day use reservation system. In the initial opening phase, the system will offer 1700 vehicle passes each day. Passes are to be validated at the park entrance gate on the reservation date and can be used for 7 days of entry.... In this initial phase, the park's target is to allow approximately 50 percent of the [typical June vehicle traffic].
Enforcement
36 C.F.R. 1.5; entry refused without a reservation
Notes
An explicit federal occupancy cap on a destination that draws four million visits a year, in force through the 2020 peak season.
