Visitor Information

Visitors are not allowed to park in the crossroads or “square”. This keeps the intersection clear of inappropriately parked vehicles, eliminates late night loitering, and stops after hours entry onto the Stronghold property. This also provides a needed staging area for all EMS vehicles during emergencies. 

Park hours are from 8 a.m. to sunset. The entrance gate closes at 4 pm. If you are on the Stronghold property after sunset, you have overstayed your welcome. Please park only in designated spaces, no roadside parking is allowed. Vehicles parked on the property after sunset will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Directional traffic control spikes located on the exit road from the park prevent vehicles from traveling the wrong way up the mountain exit road.  This device is for the safety of our visitors and staff.  Please pay special attention to all associated warning signs.  Please do not tamper with the device or attempt to defeat it.
