New year, new changes to the Skyline Trail. 🎉🌄

To help improve the visitor experience and protect the integrity of the Skyline Trail, a timed parking reservation system will be implemented from June 26 to October 25, 2026.

In recent years, the Skyline Trail parking area has frequently reached capacity as visitation continues to grow. The parking reservation system will help manage busy periods and reduce congestion at the trailhead.

Visitors will be required to book their parking space ahead of time, whether it’s days, weeks, or months before their visit.

Parking reservations for the Skyline Trail open on May 6, 2026, at 8 a.m. ET / 9 a.m. AT! Bookings open early so visitors can plan ahead
