Girdwood Public Parking Guide: Trailheads & Staging Lots

Avoid a tow ticket. Learn about Girdwood's designated public parking lots, trailhead staging zones, and winter roadside parking restrictions.

Alyeska Resort Parking Areas

Alyeska Resort offers extensive free parking at the Hotel Alyeska lot, the Daylodge parking lot, and the ski-school staging areas. These lots fill up quickly during peak winter ski weekends.

Trailhead & Park Parking

Public parking is available at the Girdwood Park/Library lot, the Winner Creek trailhead (behind the hotel), and the Crow Pass Trailhead. Staging at Crow Pass trailhead is limited and strictly for trail users.

Winter Street Parking Bans

To support municipal snow plows, overnight street parking on all Girdwood service area roads is strictly prohibited during the winter months (November 1 to April 30). Vehicles parked on road shoulders are subject to ticketing and towing.
