Middle Fork Car Shuttle FAQ

Are you driving to Stanley for your Middle Fork of the Salmon trip? If so, be sure to book a car shuttle so your vehicle will be waiting for you in Salmon at the end of your trip.

We recommend booking with River Shuttles. They will pick up your car from our meeting spot in Stanley and drop it off in the parking lot of the Stagecoach Inn in Salmon.

    • You do not need to stay at the Stagecoach Inn to have your keys stored there. However, if you prefer a different location, see the “Vehicle Key Options” section on River Shuttles’ website for alternative choices.

Parking Fees

  • Stanley Parking: There is a flat $25 fee to park in the lot in Stanley. You can purchase this parking pass at the front desk of the Mountain Village Resort when you check in.
  • Salmon Parking (Stagecoach Inn):
    • If you are staying at the Stagecoach Inn, parking is free.
    • If you are not staying at the Stagecoach Inn, they charge $10 per day for parking. You can pay this fee when you pick up your keys at the end of your trip.

Booking & Gratuities

River Shuttles requests that you book your shuttle well in advance so they can properly schedule their drivers. If you’d like to leave a gratuity for your driver in your vehicle, please ensure it is clearly labeled.

Worry Free Cancelation Fee

For 10% of the shuttle cost (about $20), you can add a worry-free cancellation fee to your reservation. This allows you to receive a refund if you need to cancel your car shuttle.
