Baldy Lake Trail

The trail begins by switchbacking up through a pine forest to the first pass. From this rockypass, Baldy Lake hides at the foot of the massive, rounded, bare topped mountain to the northeast. This mountain is behind a distinctive, narrow notch (ravine) that has been carved into a long, flat ridge. Headacross the sparsely treed, subalpine meadow toward the notch. If you have trouble deciding which of the many paths to follow, look for flagging tape and metal trail markers on trees and old roots to guide you. Once through the notch, a well defined trail leads to Baldy Lake. There is a rustic camping area, withoutfacilities at the east end of the lake. The lake offers good fishing in a scenic setting. Subalpine fir fringes the north shore of the lake, while colourful rock steeply descends to the south shore. Experienced routefinders can scramble up to the ridge above the lake for sweeping views of the Galton Range.
