Salida, Colorado

Free

4 parking areas

Good to know

Encouraged especially on busy/powder days due to limited parking capacity; no formal free HOV rate published.

Parking is free, no reservation needed. Use the Main/Lower lots first. Paradise (upper), a ski-in/ski-out lot, has a shuttle on weekends, holidays and when full; Crest overflow is 1.8 miles up the pass, also with a shuttle. Shuttles run from Paradise and Crest until about 5pm on weekends, holidays and overflow days. The Lower Lot has six EV charging ports (three dual-port stations), available 7am–5pm in season via the EV+Charging app. Staff direct parking from 7am. On busy days, arriving between 9:30am and 1:30pm means the Main/Lower lots will likely be full.
