About this place

The Wawona Visitor Center has an information desk, wilderness permit desk, and Yosemite Conservancy bookstore. It includes an exhibit of Thomas Hill’s work, recreating a "salon hanging"—paintings covering the wall from floor to ceiling, typical of Victorian galleries in the nineteenth century. In the winter, self-registration wilderness permits are available on the front porch. You must bring your own bear canister when the information station is closed. This facility is wheelchair accessible.
