Hiking equipment - Mount San Antonio ? Recreation

Hiking trails access the summit from three sides of the mountain and one route is assisted on summer weekends by the availability of a running ski-area chair lift. Many areas in the foothills are suitable for rock climbing and bouldering. There are dozens of off-ramp accessible trails that are known for vigorous hikes.

For mountaineers, the winter and spring offer a snow climbing challenge. The "Baldy Bowl" can be climbed by mountaineers with the aid of the proper equipment. The bowl can be treacherous for inexperienced climbers as sections of Bowl are steep with slopes of 45? to 50?. The steeper sections of the Bowl can only safely be climbed when the snow conditions are good.

Since 1965, each Labor Day, the San Antonio Canyon Town Hall sponsors a "Run-to-the-Top" on Mt. Baldy in which a 8 mile course over roads and trails ends at the 10,064 foot Mount San Antonio summit for a 4,000 foot elevation gain.
