The price to park at the St. Mary's Glacier trailhead has increased 300% after several years of people not paying the required $5 permit fee and leaving trash around the trail.

Previously, the fee per vehicle to park at the trailhead was $5. As of mid-December 2022, it increased to $20 per vehicle for 24 hours.

Any car found without a permit will be towed, according to new signage at the parking lots. The lots are checked frequently. With opportunities to shorten or lengthen the hike, and beautiful views within a mile of the trailhead, St. Mary's Glacier is a very popular place to visit and usually sees heavy use throughout the warm months. It's relatively close to Denver and hikers can reach the lake within a mile. Those who want to go longer can reach the 13,000-plus-foot James Peak, the Continental Divide Trail and beyond.
