Parking at Brighton

Reducing traffic and strain on our canyon

Brighton Resort sits on protected forest service land. As we cannot expand the size of our parking lot, it's important you plan to make sure you get a spot. Our parking lot fills to capacity by mid-morning on weekends, powder days, and holidays.

PARKING UPDATES COMING NEXT SEASON

23/24 PARKING

Brighton Resort will be moving to a parking reservation system containing elements of paid and free parking, as well as carpooling incentives. We are implementing these updates to help alleviate the traffic and strain on our beautiful canyon and to help protect and enhance the skiing experience for our loyal guests.
