Absolutely. I park in the highest spot at work, which is also the farthest. It's over 100 yards away and nearly as high as the fourth floor where I work.

Actually, I use the third spot. I pull face-in to the top spot and then engine-off roll back and swing around and back in to the third spot. Face out downhill.
