SUMMER PARKING First
of all we recommend carpooling; aside from the fact that driving solo wastes gas, why not spend another hour or so with Uncle
Roy? Let's define "summer", most of May until most of Spetember; this is defined by "the time we don't have
snow", it does not indicate it is warm outside. We have a circular drive, it has "spokes" off of that
round wheel that, in the summer, can park a lot of cars, about 5 in the spokes and 4 or 5 in the drive. NEVER park on the
road, towing occurs without notice and no one will know to where or by whom your car was towed and it is somewhere in either
salt lake or provo with a huge fee. OTHER PARKING
(motorhomes, boats, etc) A lot of guests bring or rent a boat and want a place to "drop"
it. There is a parking lot just inside the gate at the entrance to Timber Lakes that is for the big stuff. Don't park
a motorhome at the cabin, boats will just clog up the driveway and will be a pain to get out; just park them at the bottom.
YOU NEEED A PERMIT to park at the bottom, they are, as of this writing, free. That may change like everything else up here.
There is no cell service at the lot. ATVs
/ TRAILER PARKING AT MID-LOT There is a parking lot at the pond on the lower part of
Timber Lakes Dr. that is for trailers, again, you need a permit to leave a trailer there, do not park a vehicle there without
a trailer or it will be towed or ticketed. ATVs are ONLY allowed in the driveway, NOT on the grounds at all, this is
a fast way to lose your deposit.

WINTER PARKING Winter is hit and miss in Sep and Oct, certain Nov to March and April is usually slushy. That
means you need 4 wheel drive during those months. Young kids LOVE sledding down the driveway: it's not too steep, they
are in sight and so carpool so they have enough room to sled without eating a bumper. CABIN WINTER PARKING: In the winter, depending
on how much snow we get depends upon how much parking there is, we suggest carpool (they there are more of you to push you
out when you get stuck). you can always fit 4 or 5 cars in, but if you want to get plowed out there are more vehicles
to move to get the plow guy in. We commonly get a foot or 2 in the winter with a storm; plan ahead. NEVER park on the
street- EVER. NEVER park at another cabin, EVER. SNOWMOBILE
TRAILER PARKING: Half way between the entrance gate and the cabin, at the
lower portioin of Timber Lakes Dr is a lot for snowmobile trailers. You cannot park a vehicle in the lot without a trailer
attached, you will be towed! You CAN bring a 2 place trailer to the cabin, we recommend dropping it unless you don't
mind a clogged up driveway, again, the more snow we get the more snow piles and less park space. You CANNOT bring a
4 place trailer into the cabin driveway in the winter. You MUST park 4 place and larger trailers at the mid-mountain lot.
Anytime you park at a parking lot in Timberlakes you need a permit, usually free, from the guard shack.
