Depending on how busy they are, they may tell you to park at the top of the hill near the lodge in what's called bus parking. We've also done that on some overnight to three or four night trips.

Basically, check in at the visitor's center when you get there, tell them your plans and they'll tell you where to park. No sweat. They're used to it.

thanks
