Field notes
Entries distinguish “Published recurring schedule,” “Confirmed rule,” and “2027 TBA,” and link to NPS, BLM or Recreation.gov references. The park directory captures materially different systems: Yosemite’s rolling lottery is described as 24 weeks plus a one-week release, while Glacier is listed as having no vehicle reservations in 2026. The first newsletter issue is scheduled for October 29, 2026.
