Before departure (Sep 19/20)
- Buy the US$250 nonresident annual pass — digital, on recreation.gov, before the Sep 22 Yosemite entrance. One pass admits the whole car at Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon and waives the US$100/person nonresident surcharge. Without it: ~US$435 per park, US$870 total. Pass holder must be in the car with photo ID at every gate.
- KT: complete the LA DTLA online check-in form — Hostaway portal. Entry code is activated only after it's submitted.
- MS: assign Air Canada seats for the YVR ↔ SFO flights.
