Another interesting note. Quoting the BSP website:
"Park rules require hikers to carry only one piece of equipment - a flashlight (or headlamp)."
"Park rules require hikers to carry only one piece of equipment - a flashlight (or headlamp)."
With a day use parking pass you can arrive at the gate at a somewhat more reasonable hour than you would if you wait in line with out one and hope for no shows.
For those of you who are still limiting your visits to the Park because of past bitterness, I suggest you take a fresh look at the policies. BSP has evolved (e.g., solo winter day use).
And for what it's worth, several rangers are "real cops" as they have been through the criminal justice academy.
