Nicknamed for the absence of trees near its summit, the majestic mountain rises above the Angeles National Forest to a peak of 10,046ft, which marks the highest point in both the San Gabriel Mountains and Los Angeles County. On clear days its oft-snow-capped peak dominates the skyline to the north, rendering the city’s man-made monuments diminutive by contrast.

Compact gearing and good brakes will make the ride much nicer.

Mt. Baldy is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains and gets its nickname from the absence of trees near its summit. It is a grind to get here on your bike but you will be rewarded with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountain tops. A very popular and special place.
