Special note for SF Bay Area attendees

Donner Pass snow hazard

If you’re driving from the Bay Area, be prepared for possible snow driving on Donner Pass.
Pack a warm jacket: The pass gets very cold, and snow is possible any time of year.

If the weather forecast predicts snow, read up on snow driving techniques and buy tire chains before you leave, since tire chains sold on the pass are typically poor quality and have a horrible markup. Do consider paying an installer on the pass to install your chains; they know how to install chains correctly, and you get to stay out of the wet and the cold.

Parking

Free parking is available around the GSR.
Free valet parking is available, but tips are expected.
The RV Park has been closed and converted to additional parking.
The parking lot also has spaces large enough to accommodate large vehicles, though you can’t sleep in them.

Travel from Airport

Complimentary airport shuttle service is provided by the hotel.

Airport shuttle pass

For 2026, due to the ongoing construction, the GSR now requires an airport shuttle pass (free) for the return trip to the airport.
This will be given to you when you take the shuttle to the hotel.

The Reno airport is not served by international airlines; you’ll need to land at a larger international airport first. Also it may save you money to fly into LAX, SFO, SMF, LAS, or PHX, and share a car ride with a friend.
