The parking is still below the point where an adventure pass is needed so it's not necessary.
Roadside parking at and near the trailhead (large metal yellow gate) has been restricted as of 2020. Need to park 1/8 mi South on Mount baldy road at the dam overlook and hike back up the road to get on trail. On 4-10-21, saw the ranger ticketing cars parked in trailhead pull out.
No one needs pass
