No dogs please.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATER.
Please remember the 4 hiking essentials.
Free transit options:
Car parking at SIlver lake these days requires a second mortgage. The free option is by bus to Royal Street Café, Silver Lake Village: meet at the Old Town Transit Center in time for the 8:46am Number 4 Orange bus to Silver Lake. I think the 3 car parks near the Transit Center offer 4 hours free parking at that time of the morning. Please check signs!
From Empire, Montage: For those that end their hike at Empire, the purple bus provides transit from the Montage to the Park City Transit Center.
From PCMR base area: Catch any of the buses going to the Park City Transit Center to retrieve cars.
