We banked on that last October (the 72 hour thing) and it was a complete bust. We both signed onto our desktops at 8 AM 2, 3 and 4 days prior to the planned climb and saw zero evidence of any extra tickets being released. Not saying it's an urban myth but I suspect that extra tickets are only released on certain days (probably not including busy weekends). It certainly doesn't seem like something that should be counted on. We opted for Blazing Adventures but they only drop off at 7 AM. Obviously that's an issue during monsoon season.ColoNativeGal wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 3:29 pm Well damn. OK thanks for the heads up.
Does anyone know if they actually release more parking permits 72 hours in advance?
I called them today and the person I talked to said they didn't, but I swear someone on here said that's how they always got parking permits. So I was banking on that, but it doesn't seem to be panning out very well for me, lol.

Re: Uber to Maroon Lake TH?
I managed to get 72-hour-prior parking passes for a Saturday last summer, but they weren't released right at 8AM. I thought maybe I wasn't fast enough and missed them, but I was at work and it wasn't busy so I kept refreshing the page every few minutes until they showed up on the website around 8:24AM.JROSKA wrote: ↑Tue Jul 08, 2025 7:25 pm We banked on that last October (the 72 hour thing) and it was a complete bust.
