Baldy Bowl Trail Guide

A few minutes past the waterfall and just before 1 mile into the hike, look for the (easy to miss) turnoff onto the Baldy Bowl Trail. If you’ve gone past a mile on the hike, you might have missed it.

When the road does a 180 turn, you’ll see the 75-foot San Antonio Falls.

It’s a straight shot up along the canyon with San Antonio Creek to the Skit Hut. Then we’ll cross over the actual Baldy Bowl, and up a ridge to Baldy Saddle. From there will follow the ridge line up to the summit.

Here’s the one-way elevation profile to the summit. There’s a short flat section just past the Ski Hut, but otherwise it’s pretty much all uphill.

Here’s the Baldy Bowl in winter. The steep slopes are challenging enough when clear, and they can be deadly with even a little bit of snow and ice. Photo Justin Johnsen
