The Pine Springs Area and Trailhead is where many trails in the National Park begin and is by far the most heavily used day-use area in the park. Despite this, however, the parking lot is rather small so either plan to arrive early to get a spot or just park in the much larger Visitor Center lot. It is just a short distance away and there is a short trail connecting the two areas.

Hiking

The parking lot is small so may need to park down nearer the visitor's center. Don't forget to record your hike starting and ending in the log book at the trailhead.
