Yosemite Park Permits and Licensing

Permits allow the National Park Service to monitor and manage various park resources.  In addition to wilderness permits, for overnight backpacking in Yosemite's wilderness areas, permits may also be required for commercial filming, bus tours, and guiding, as well as scattering cremated remains, research and collection, and weddings.  For a more information and a list of  permits visit the NPS site.
