Re: S. Colony 2WD TH - overnight no more?
What about parking along the road on the way to the 4wd lot? It’s been 13 years since I was up there but I hiked from the now outlaw 2wd lot at the bottom in the fall and passed several hunting camps with vehicles parked around. I don’t remember if 4wd would have been needed to get to them or not.

I remember seeing people parked along the road when the lot was full. Seems like as long as you are not blocking the road, but still in the right of way (outside fence lines), you should be okay. As long as there aren't any no parking signs along the road.JChitwood wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 3:23 pm What about parking along the road on the way to the 4wd lot?

No parking along the road until you reach the forest service sign. Until then, the road runs through private property.
