Park-to-Park
The Park-to-Park weekend shuttle runs during the summer between Saturday, May 23, 2026 through Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, on Saturday & Sunday, from 8 am - 8 pm. It also runs on summer holidays (Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Labor Day).
Simply park for free at one of the five downtown City of Boulder parking garages (look for the green 'P'). The City of Boulder will soon begin upgrades to the Spruce Street Parking Garage (1100 Spruce St.). During construction, the garage will close for about four months beginning in early June. The shuttle is free and runs every 30 minutes. Dogs are welcome, but please be mindful - for before or after your hike - that dogs are not allowed on the Pearl Street Mall.
The parking lots at University of Colorado Boulder and New Vista High School will not be available for satellite parking this year, though route stops nearby are still in service.
