Baldwin Loop climbs and descends on the western side of Wilder Ranch State Park. While most users doing this short loop might prefer to climb on the East segment of the loop which is a wider road, and descend on the gravel West segment of the loop, it is actually more enjoyable to climb the west segment and continue the longer loop via Enchanted loop to Twin Oaks Trail for the descent on the Eastern side of the park, along Peaseley Gulch which leads down to the main Farm center of the park.
