Yosemite wilderness permits are moving to recreation.gov for the 2022 season
Yosemite wilderness permits are moving to recreation.gov for the 2022 season. While the process of making reservations will change, many parts of the system will be the same or similar, including trailhead quotas, availability of walk-up permits, and reservation windows. More information will be available on this page this fall.

Not sure how I feel about this. Could be better, but recreation.gov is sometimes a bit hard to use and get permits from. Plus they'll probably add a rec.gov fee on top of the wilderness fees. I guess except for the lotteries, it will at least be more easily to know what's available and what you get.
May have to wait and see how it's implemented and try it out a few times before I know if it's better, the same, or worse.
Either way, I just wish they would go back to the emailed permits.
