Ease of access: The White Barn parking lot has one van-designated parking spot, an accessible porta-potty, and a potable water spigot near the information kiosk. There is no cell service at the park. There is a ¼-mile paved road from the White Barn parking lot to the Lower Bald Mtn trailhead adjacent to the Robert Ferguson Observatory. Lower Bald Mtn Trail is a single-track dirt and gravel trail with multiple narrow switchbacks and inclines for an elevation gain of approximately 500ft. It merges with Bald Mtn Trail, a paved fire road with 1,000+ ft of elevation gain—the route backtracks on these same trails.
