First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.

Yosemite National Park has many facilities accessible for people with physical disabilities. Ask for the Accessibility Coordinator to answer questions not covered here. The park designates facilities as accessible if they comply with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). The Yosemite Guide, a free newspaper available at park entrances, ranger stations, and other locations in the park, is your key to current Park information. It contains a listing of all ranger talks, facilities, and services, general information, and feature articles. Current road, weather, and camping information is also available by telephone.

Accessibility – As of early January 2012, there is now a new video phone installed in the Yosemite Lodge lobby for use by Deaf visitors. The phone will be available 24 hours a day.

We also have a handout [240 kb PDF] with more details about the Deaf services program. You can reach the Deaf Services Coordinator by email or by calling 209/379-5250 (voice/text).
