Mount San Antonio (Mt. Baldy)
by

5 Completed 3 Reviews

Anyone who's an avid hiker in Southern California should bag mount baldy. It's a beautiful, challenging hike and the highest mountain in LA county. My question though is why the trails are so poorly marked and maintained? If you come up devil's backbone it is not obvious where to descend via baldy bowl. We went about 45 minutes down the wrong trail which headed to the village and well out of our way. Frustrating. Once on the right trail it can still be a little unclear. Still a beautiful hike but definitely rake a map and ask other hikers if you are at all unsure. would be great if they could put up a few more signs too.

Great trail! Exhausting but great! Still quite a bit of water in the stream and flowing from the springs. Everyone hiking on the trail was friendly too! That's a plus. Not too crowded either.

Baldy Bowl Trail

Another busy day on the trail. Saw the usual mix of high school students in tennis shoes, to people who just walked off an REI showroom. Had to have been 15-20 people on the summit today around 2:15.
The nice part about this hike is that there are many places to call your turn around spot, don't be too hard on yourself if you can't summit, it's a tough hike.

Devil's Backbone cannot be beat! Love glissading down the east face of Baldy in the winter.

Bighorn Peak Trail

Very light traffic on Friday afternoon, and once passed the saddle I had the trail all to myself. Trail is very well maintained until I reach the splits (left to Bighorn peak, right to Ontario Peak). The trail to Bighorn peak starts behind a falling tree; it is a narrow trail with loose gravels and gradually becomes less visible as it progresses. As I hiked toward the peak, I managed to follow the faint trail as I looked to the peak to orient myself. On the return trip, I lose the trail couple of times and had to backtrack to look for the trail. Wish I had some ribbons with me to mark the trail.

I must say it was a good hike. We went with someone who had gone a few times so that was a plus.Not many signs to let you know where you're at or where you're going. the view is great up there will be doing this a few more times. be sure to take plenty of water and food..

Cucamonga Peak Trail
by

Everyone will say the same thing: Beautiful hike. And it is, without question. The trail from the saddle between Bighorn Peak and Cucamonga Peak is almost all north or northwest facing, so snow tends to stick around here a little later than other places. However, it is clear this year (2013) thanks to the warm, dry winter we had.
