About Wawona Visitor Center at Hill's Studio
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.
