Rideshare Options
Rideshare services including Uber and Lyft operate in the George and Quincy Washington area but coverage is limited compared to a major city. The following is general knowledge not sourced from official Bass Canyon data.
- Rideshare availability from The Gorge after late night sets can be very limited. Wait times can be long and surge pricing applies heavily around set times.
- If staying at a hotel in Quincy or the surrounding area rideshare is a reasonable option for getting to and from the venue during the day. After midnight it becomes significantly less reliable.
- The official shuttle is a more reliable option than rideshare for traveling from Seattle. Rideshare from Seattle to The Gorge would be extremely expensive.
- If driving to the festival and camping on site rideshare is not needed for venue transportation since you are walking from your campsite.
