Access Issues
The main gate on the Entry Road (Roxy Ann Road) is typically open 8am to 8pm in the spring and summer and closes at 5pm in fall and winter. If this gate is closed, you may continue into the park without a vehicle. You may park along the Entry Road or at the electric substation as long as there is accessibility for maintenance vehicles and you are not blocking gates. Please be aware that quarry trucks use this road system.

Description
You can reach the Pali via the Twight Trail or the Equestrian Ridge Trail (from the picnic area on the Loop Road) or from the Lithic Trail. From the northwest end of the Twight Trail, the Pali works its way around the northwest side of Roxy Ann Peak, mostly on the level, to its end at the Equestrian Ridge Trail (a re-purposed old road) on Roxy Ann's north ridge. Like the Twight Trail, the Pali is a good one for views to the west and north. Because much of it is north-facing, you'll find different wildflowers - such as the Scarlett fritillary - along it in the April and May.
