Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to the heavy commercial freight volume traversing US-287 between the Gulf Coast and Colorado Front Range, spaces can fill quickly in the late afternoon and evening. It is highly recommended to book your space through the Truck Parking Club app or web portal prior to your shift end to ensure an authorized spot. When arriving after dark, keep your headlights low while staging to respect resting drivers, and perform a quick visual walk-around during icy winter months to verify surface traction on the gravel footprint.
