Heads up anyone using the Sunnidale DOLRA or entering the trails from that entrance- we were almost hit by a black RAV4 took the trails into the park. They drove quite fast, went around the barriers and down the main path to wherever they are camping I guess. They pulled off just before the first bridge on the way to the DOLRA. I’m pretty annoyed at the boldness of people, I’ve been seeing a lot of negative evidence of encampments in the area before (like litter/bags of trash, needles, bottles) but this is a safety hazard for people walking now too.
