Overflow parking for the Bald Peak trail on Pleasant Mountain is now available at Shawnee Peak’s East area parking lot. Located 1000 ft down Mountain Rd from the trailhead, the lower half of the lot is available for hikers to park in and will provide a safe alternative to parking on the road, which is prohibited.
Signs indicating where to park have been installed, and Pleasant Mountain trail maps have been updated with this information as well. Thank you to Shawnee Peak for allowing use of their parking area!
