From May 27 to October 10, the RMNP Hiker Shuttle provides service from the Estes Park Visitor Center to Rocky Mountain National Park's Park & Ride Transit Hub, located on Bear Lake Road. Once at Park & Ride, passengers may transfer to the Bear Lake or Moraine Park Shuttles to reach desired trailhead destinations. Some hiking trails are accessed directly from Park & Ride. The Hiker Shuttle does not make any other stops in Rocky Mountain National Park. To ride the Hiker Shuttle, two things will be required: a Hiker Shuttle Reservation, which may be booked at www.recreation.gov, plus a valid park pass.
