During the busy season, the park recommends using the shuttle system (open May 23 to October 18) to access busy trailheads on the east side of the park, where several parking lots fill quickly and early in the morning. The shuttle will get you to trailheads for many of the most popular hikes, including Bear Lake, Glacier Gorge, Cub Lake, Fern Lake, Sprague Lake, and Bierstadt Lake.

During summer and fall weekends, when the lot for the park’s shuttle also fills up quickly, minimize frustration by parking at the Estes Park Visitor Center and then taking the Hiker Shuttle Express bus to the Park & Ride lot; from there you can take the Park & Ride shuttle to your trailhead.

Shuttle schedules vary with more runs during the heart of the day and fewer in the early morning or evening hours. Most park-operated shuttles are wheelchair accessible. Fullytrained service animals are allowed on shuttles, but pets are not. There is no park-run shuttle service on the west side of the park.
