Maroon Bells Parking Reservation (10/01-10/02)

Post by sanmiguel »

Hey there! We'll be in Aspen on Oct 1-2 with our 3-year-old. Unfortunately, parking reservations are all taken for both days. We're flexible with our plans. If anyone's had a change of heart for either of those days, could you give me a shout? Thanks!

Have you considered taking the shuttle up? It has plenty of spots open. Or they usually have walk up spots available day of. It runs 7a-5p. Is there a reason you need to drive and park up there? I've visited several times and the only time I actually needed parking was to get a 3:30 am start to Pyramid since the bus doesn't start running until 7 am.

Thanks for the suggestion! We've thought about the shuttle, but having our own vehicle gives us more convenience, especially when traveling with little ones.
