You can now go on-line to apply for room in the High Sierra camps in Yosemite National Park. Merced High Sierra Camp, top, and Vogelsang High Sierra Camp photos by Delaware North.

Ahh, the Internet age. Thanks to its existence, you can now apply for a spot in one of the High Sierra backcountry camps in Yosemite National Park via the Internet

Online applications for next summer are now being taken through November 1, 2009.

"We're pleased to make this announcement, primarily because it will make the application process easier and more expedient for our guests," said Dan Jensen, chief operating officer for concessioner DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc. "For decades, the only way to enter the High Sierra Camp lottery was to submit a hard-copy application to our Fresno reservations office and wait for three months. Those days are over."

Applicants submitting by the November 1 deadline will receive notification 30 to 60 days faster than in previous years. The simplified electronic medium allows DNC's central reservation office to process applications quicker, and return confirmations more rapidly than before.

Any canceled space will be filled by a second-round lottery using applications that were not awarded during the first round. Any available space not awarded during those first two rounds will be filled by phone inquiries on a first come, first served basis beginning February 9, 2010, nearly two full months earlier than this year's April 1 date.

For further information regarding how to apply online for the upcoming 2010 High Sierra Camp Lottery, visit www.yosemitepark.com/Accomodations_HighSierraCamps.aspx. You may also email [email protected], or call 801.559.4909.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
