"The Baldy Bowl/Ski Hit Trail was really nice. Steep climb, but a great workout with pretty views. I did West Baldy before heading down Devils Backbone. I was fine, but if you are afraid of heights then that trail is not for you. Did not care for the long section of road that I hiked down. Next time I would do Bear Canyon Trail to Baldy and take the ski lift down to avoid the road or do Register Ridge down. 12 miles and 4,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. June 15, 2019. A little snow on the trail to West Baldy, but no snow gear was needed." — firesoren90 • Jun 15, 2019
"Drove up from Vegas to catch a couple of Dodgers games. Of course we had to hike too! We took Register Ridge up and Baldy Bowl Trail down. Hit Harwood, Baldy, West Baldy and Gold Ridge Mine Overlook." — Kevin • Jul 8, 2018
"Made the quick side trip to West Baldy after visiting Mt Baldy. Although I had been to Baldy before, I never visited West Baldy before. Although there was a big gathering of hikers on top of Baldy, I had West Baldy to myself. This is a great spot to view the surrounding mountain range. After my short visit, I returned to the summit of Baldy to pick up the Ski Hut trail for my descent." — Peak-Conquistador • Jun 16, 2018
"Iron to Baldy Traverse (2x) with Scott B., Dash, and Wendi (she turned around on Iron). Gunsight Notch was the highlight of the trip with some really fun class 3. The steep climb up West Baldy included patches of mixed snow, ice, scree, and boulders. The last 300' saw us fight through 40+ mph winds getting up the ridge and over to Baldy." — tombecht • Jan 27, 2018
"Went up the Old Baldy Trail, so I hit W. Baldy first. I remember reading that there was no actual benchmark up there, so I was really excited and surprised when I found it! The views from there are spectacular." — jimduvall • Sep 5, 2015
"Tagged it on the way out before dropping into the bowl. Strangely there was a helicopter that landed on the summit shortly after I left. It was getting tossed around by the high winds, very ballsy to land there. I didn't see a soul all day so I don't think it was for a rescue. Something tells me that landing an aircraft in a national wilderness is a big no-no?" — Christopher • Mar 7, 2012
