I volunteer to lend a hand. Just say when.

Now, I know and I agree. Better keep it on the down low too.

I don't want that trail to get hammered by throngs of people....

as for things getting overcrowded, i agree it sucks. but at the same time, those people have just as much right to hike. Not always. There are headcount limits on the permits for the San Gorgonio (12) and Cucamonga Wildernesses (15). ... Maybe the fairest solution to Baldy getting invaded like this...

I started Sunday morning from Manker Flats around 4:30am. Temp was around 30 and wind was gusting about the same (brrr!). Went up Baldy bowl with Orion's belt and big dipper overhead....but overshot the trail-head for Register ridge. I had to turn around come back down. The light from my head lamp l...

I went to Wrightwood this past Saturday to check out the trailhead for the north baldy approach (yup, I was expecting to see signs telling me "trail closed...blahblah"). From I15, I hoped on the 138 and got on the 2 to Wrightwood. I made a left on Spruce, right on Apple and left on Acorn....

As you can tell, I am not from around here...............................

Dude, 10,000,000 other places to hike I am listening. I am looking for a physical hike...any suggestions??? or just go the north route to Baldy, a very cool route. Which route is the "north route"? The only routes I know are: 1) mt baldy village church->bear flats->baldy top 2) manker fla...

I wish I could...

I usually get up there around 4am. Best I can do is chance it Saturday and show up at Manker Flats...

We'll see.

That bike race appears to be within the ski resort and is probably being allowed under a special use permit. I would think that the ANF is still closed to those without specific permission or a permit. The peak and the trails leading to it are in the ANF. My interpretation and opinion only. Simply ...

Hi! I was planning to do Baldy this Saturday until I saw this post. I don't mean to challenge anyone here (being a forum newbie and all) but is it still closed? The site for the Mt Baldy resort shows a race schedule for that same day. http://www.mtbaldy.com/longboard-hac.htm Any info is welcome. Tha...
