You may need a timed entry permit depending on when they cut off for the season. You need to order that online ahead of time. Check out their official website. There are certain times when you don't need a timed passed such as after 2 pm. Double check the hours. If you don' t have an annual natl park pass or a military park pass, you'll need to pay the park entry fee as well. You can do that at the entry station in the park.
If I enter through Grand Lake before 9 am, do I need a timed permit pass? There does not seem to be any available for reservations. I know we can wait until the night before to obtain one, but we have a tour to make at 4 pm in Estes Park.
A:
The website says permits are only required between 9:00-2:00. If you enter at Grand Lake side before 9:00 and stay within the park you’ll be okay to get to Estes Park for your tour.
