Vail Police/Special to the Daily
New parking restrictions to address overcrowding and safety concerns take effect June 2 at popular trailheads in East Vail. With those restrictions in place, the town of Vail and the White River National Forest encourage hikers to “Bus It to Hike It.”
The parking area for the Booth Lake Trailhead in Vail will be closed for the summer season. Parking at the Pitkin and Bighorn trailheads will be limited to three hours with no overnight parking. Visitors to the Gore/Deluge Trailhead will see designated parking spaces and delineated no parking areas to address conflicts between vehicles and bicyclists on Vail Pass.
