Why Should You Take the Park Shuttle Bus?

• Access many destination and loop hikes along the Bear Lake Road corridor.
• Cut down on vehicle emissions in the park.
• Enjoy the beautiful scenery without the distraction and hassle of traffic congestion and limited parking.
• Parking areas along the Bear Lake Road fill most days during the summer and the buses provide the only access during those peak hours each day.

 

Notes and Tips

• There are no shuttle bus services on the west side of the park or across Trail Ridge Road. There are several commercial shuttle tours in the Estes area. Contact the Estes Park Visitor Center for information.
• There are no bike racks on shuttle buses.
• Most shuttle buses are accessible and can accommodate wheelchairs. Contact shuttle staff or rangers if accommodation is needed.
• Pets are not allowed on shuttle buses except service animals that have been individually trained to perform specific tasks for the benefit of persons with disabilities. (Emotional support and service-animals-in-training are not service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act.)
