The resort’s page doesn’t say which season these rules are for. They were current on the page when we checked.
What does parking cost on your day?
Parking is free and first come, first served, but you need an Oregon Sno-Park permit from Nov 1 to Apr 30. The state lists permits at $4 a day, $9 for three days or $25 a year, and sellers may add a service fee. You can buy one at any open ticket window or the Wy’East Day Lodge guest services desk.
Nov 1 to Apr 30 (Sno-Park permit season)
Lots fill quickly on winter weekends. You can park in Government Camp or the Mt. Hood Villages and ride the Mt. Hood Express bus ($2 each way) or the Timberline Shuttle, which runs Fridays to Sundays from Summit Pass and is free for passholders and online ticket holders.
- Day visitors use the Main Lot and Salmon River Lot. The lot by the lodge is for hotel guests.
- Parking in an Oregon Sno-Park without a permit can bring a $30 fine.
