Everyone should add some National Parks to their bucket list. If you have one on your list for 2024, these National Parks will require you to have advance reservations. Check it out so that you're not stuck outside the park waiting to get in!
Travel + Leisure ~ Several popular national parks are bringing back timed reservation systems for next year, requiring visitors to plan ahead.
Often implemented to limit crowds at some of the most popular national parks around the country, the measure is going into effect from Arches National Park to Yosemite National Park. The reservations are typically free, but come with an online processing fee for recreation.gov.
These are the national parks requiring reservations for 2024.
Arches National Park
Starting on April 1, 2024, Arches National Park will re-introduce a pilot program similar to a model it implemented this year. Reservations will be released in monthly blocks three months in advance, according to the National Park Service, and will allow travelers to enter the park during a one-hour window. Visitors can then stay however long they wish.
The reservation is free, save a $2 recreation.gov processing fee.
Glacier National Park
The Montana park will bring back a reservation system starting May 24 next year for the west side of the always-popular Going-to-the-Sun Road and North Fork, and starting July 1 for the Many Glacier valley, according to the NPS.
New for 2024, vehicle reservations will only be valid for one day, rather than the three days this year, so more reservations can be issued. But park goers will be able to access the Apgar Village amenities without a vehicle reservation.
Like the other parks, reservations are free except for the $2 processing fee." ~ Travel + Leisure
