Mount Baldy
Description and pictures contributed by Craig Evans
This is a high altitude ride starting near Rosemont Reservoir (on
Old Stage road) and ending at Stratton Reservoir, which is above
the tree line. A four wheel drive road is followed for the entire
ride, which climbs steadily from 9,900 feet to 12,200 feet. There
is one major fork along the way and you should take the right
side (FR-379A).
The views, particulary from the top, are
exceptional. There are broadcast towers on top of Baldy, and
Stratton Reservoir is also a point of interest. The ride down is
a blast. There is a special feeling associated with riding Mount
Baldy. Whether it's the views, the experience of riding up
through the tree line, or euphoria due to oxygen deprivation is
not important. It's a great workout and you will have good
memories for a long time.
