Though cars and other private vehicles are allowed in Yosemite, including Yosemite Valley, our Free Hybrid Shuttle System is an option available to you and is a great way to experience Yosemite! View a map of the Yosemite Valley shuttle bus system by clicking on the thumbnail image to the left.
Free Yosemite Valley Shuttle
The free Valley Shuttle runs on a continuous loop through Yosemite Valley throughout the day all year-round. The daily start and end time for the shuttle varies with the season and a few stops are seasonal and or stop service at dark. Park your car at your hotel or campground, or use the day parking lots located in Yosemite Village and Curry Village. The Valley Shuttle stops at all lodging and camping venues as well as the major eateries, shopping areas, popular attractions and trailheads. Avoid the hassles of parking lots and getting lost as you relax, take in the sights and let us do the driving! During the winter the Yosemite Valley Shuttle system operates 7am - 10pm and runs every 30 min. In the summer, buses run every 5 - 10 minutes. Get a
