Lot Access

Park It

There are three parking lots at Timberline Lodge. Up by the main lodge, the lot is reserved for hotel guests. The two lower lots (Main Lot and Salmon River Lot) are for day visitors and employees. During the busy winter season on weekends, our parking lots fill up quickly with ski area guests. We recommend carpooling and arriving early. Guests can also park in nearby Government Camp or the Mt. Hood Villages and catch a ride on the Mt. Hood Express or Timberline Resort Shuttle.

SNO-PARK PERMITS

If you’re driving your own vehicle to Timberline, remember that Sno-Park Permits are required for all state-maintained parking lots in recreational areas November 1 – April 30. The funds raised by these sales supplement the snow removal budgets for these areas. They are available for 1 day, 3 days, and for a full season. Day visitors during the winter season can purchase Sno-Park Permits at any open ticket window or inside the Wy’East Day Lodge at the Guest Services Desk. They are also available at many local businesses on the way to the mountain.
