Description
This trail affords many fine views of the drainages. Following the adjoining trail to the base, Little Baldy Mountain can be easily climbed and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. There are opportunities to see wildlife along the trail.
The trail begins as a narrow dirt road, narrowing to a trail after about 3/4 of a mile. The trail climbs abruptly up and continues to be fairly steep. It passes through an old brush covered burn. Water is not available along the trail and must be carried in. This trail was burned in 1990.
