Hiking
6,529-foot-tall Mount Baldy has been used as a fire observation site since 1910. The 26-foot-tall tower that stands on the summit now was built in 1957. You can stay in the tower overnight from June through September if you make a reservation with the U.S. Forest Service. The summit is a good place to see sunrises/sunsets and to stargaze on clear nights. Snow persists into the summer months, so keep this in mind—drifts may make accessing the lookout difficult, both to those on foot and those in a car.
