Bailey Canyon question

Geoff · Post by **Geoff** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:08 pm

On two occasions I've come down Bailey Canyon late enough to find the Baily Canyon
Park gate locked. On both occasions I've had to use, uh, unconventional methods to exit
the park. Is there an alternate exit that doesn't involve scaling fences or climbing back to
Jones Peak?

I searched the forum but couldn't find an existing answer to this question . . .

I've just continued down the paved road and around the locked gate, I guess it's a bit "unconventional" but...

That's what I did, but for me, "around the locked gate" entailed a slightly tricky straddle over
a fence with barbed wire. It wasn't too difficult, but not something you look forward to after
a 2000' ascent/descent. Or did I miss an opening in the fence somewhere?
