The Badger Pass Trailhead is open for nordic recreation and snow play daily from 8am-5pm. When the Badger Pass parking lot fills (approximately 100 cars) the uphill gate on the Glacier Point Road at Chinquipin will be swung blocking uphill travel. Five cars will be allowed entry after five cars have left the area. At around 4pm daily Law Enforcement patrols will begin to encourage visitors to leave the Badger Pass area, ensuring compliance with the 5PM park closure.
These actions are necessary to preserve wilderness conditions & protect natural resources.
