Good question and one with a few answers. Please take note so that we can get you down the mountain safe and sound as efficiently as we can.
Here’s the exit strategy:
• If you’re taking the bus back to Mill Valley, proceed in an orderly fashion along the path towards the venue entrance and form a single file line on the right side of the path along the fence and inside the stanchions. This will allow our staff to load the buses in a safe, orderly, and efficient manner. No cutting in line, please.
• If you’re parked in the Summit Lot, follow a short path to the High Camp Lot, which begins just across from our Merchandise Tent and slopes gently up the hill. Signage and staff will be there to direct you.
Once there, you’ll form a line on the left where the same shuttles that brought you down to the theater will bring you back up to the Summit Lot.
Please be patient as we have a lot of folks leaving the venue at the same time on one-lane roads. We’ll get you back to your cars as swiftly and safely as we can.
In short, we’ve built a music festival for a day where one has rarely existed, so everything takes a little more time than it does down on the ground. Hopefully you’ll be basking in the afterglow of the show while you await your chariot up the hill
NOTE: If you're parked in the Summit Lot, do not go back to the theater entrance where you were dropped off. That area will solely be for large buses heading down the mountain.
• If you’re parked near Rock Spring, at Trojan Point, or out on West Ridgecrest Blvd., please exit the venue on the Mountain Theater Fire Road.
You can access the Mountain Theater Fire Road through the back of our Vendor Village where the restrooms are. Signage and staff will be there to direct you.
• If you biked up the mountain, walk back along the same Mountain Theater Fire Road noted above to the Rock Spring Lot where your bike is parked. Please ride carefully down the mountain, as there will be cars and buses heading down with you.
• If you hiked up the mountain and plan on hiking down, please do so carefully and bring a flashlight, as it will of course get darker on you way down. If you don’t feel like hiking down, hop on a bus on us. Our sources tell us the sun will set at 7:29 PM on Saturday, September 7th.
