White Pass overnight parking? was created by Charles
Does anyone know where one is supposed to leave a car overnight at White Pass? My daughter and I are planning a trip north into the W.O. Douglass Wilderness and it would be nice if the car were in the same place when we return!

PS - I did do a search of the TRs before posting, so moderators please don't give me a hard time  ;)

In the past, there has been RV/overnight parking on the north side of the highway in the farthest western parking lot. White Pass is open daily thru April 15 then on weekends only thru April 29. Zap

Yep, far northwestern parking lot is fine. People at white aren't too bad about parking, especially if it isn't snowing a bunch. I once left my car doors open (really wanted to ski I guess) all day and no one took a thing ;D Cameras, skis, gear. It was an open house! Good people there, except for some guy named Jason, I wouldn't put up with that guy if you see him.

Zap and Jason, thanks for the help. A long time ago I parked overnight near Dog Lake and went north from there, but that was mid-May. Do you think there's any chance of finding parking near Dog Lake now?

I got the phone number (509-672-3170) for the DOT maintenance shed at White Pass and talked to someone there today. They said that in addition to the ski area parking, there is parking available somewhere along the road to the shed (just west of ski area parking), and that there should be parking available right near Dog Lake, because that's where people park to go ice fishing on Dog Lake. Also said that the snopark signs have been "pulled", seeming to mean that parking is now allowed where ever you can get your car off the highway.
