Mt. Baldy Hiking Trails and Visitors informationWelcome to scenic Mt. Baldy! The crown jewel of the San Gabriel Mountains, majestic Mt. San Antonio (10,064 feet in elevation) towers over all other peaks in the range. More popularly known as “Mt. Baldy” or “Old Baldy”, it is the highest point in the San Gabriel Mountains and is the third highest peak in southern California. Mt. Baldy is visible from much of southern California and conversely, much of southern California can be seen from its summit— air pollution permitting. There are more than 70 miles of hiking trails to explore at Mt. Baldy. Whether you are a novice hiker or an expert, Mt. Baldy has trails to accommodate every hiker’s needs. From cascading waterfalls to mountain top views, no hiker will be left wanting from a trip to Mt. Baldy.
Current Trail Conditions As of late May, all Mt. Baldy hiking trails are open to the public. Hikers are strongly advised to bring cramp-ons, ice axes, and snow gear for any trails above 8,000 feet in elevation as these trails are still iced over from winter snows, particularly north facing slopes. Ice House Canyon is clear to the saddle. Cedar Glen and the Chapman trail are also clear. Kelly's Camp, Cucamonga Peak, and Ontario Peak still have ice on the trail. Portions of the "Three T's" (Timber, Thunder, and Telegraph Peaks) are still icy. Due to the late snows this year, expect to see ice on the higher elevated trails into July.
