Sierra Nevada National Park Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice a few more restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Sierra Nevada National Park go off without a hitch:

• Before committing to anything, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
