Visit Mt Baldy from Manker Flats

This trail is very popular and challenging - and it starts high enough to beat the heat.

We will carpool to the trailhead because parking there can be tight.

The route begins for 1/2 mile as a dirt road, passing San Antonio Falls, then an abrupt switchback marks a long ascent to Baldy Bowl. Another steep section leads to a ridge which goes to the summit.

Stats: 9.8 miles, 4450' gain.
