Free, first come

The resort’s page doesn’t say which season these rules are for. They were current on the page when we checked.

What it costs

Parking at Monarch is free and needs no reservation. Staff guide you to the next open spot from 7am.

If the lots are full

On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays the main and lower lots fill between about 9:30am and 1:30pm. You’ll then be sent to the Paradise lot or the Crest lot at the top of Monarch Pass, with shuttles to the lodge.

Where this comes from

Rules change during the season. If the resort’s page says something different from ours, go by the resort.
