The Baldy Bowl Trail, also known as the Ski Hut Trail, is the shortest route to the summit of Mt Baldy. Unfortunately, that short distance comes at the price of a very steep climb. For fit hikers, you'll have to work, and for those out of shape, expect to take breaks to catch your breath as you navigate the steep slopes. Along the way, you'll have a picture-perfect spot to rest, the Sierra Club Ski Hut. And the final payoff is reaching the highest point in Los Angeles County, Mount San Antonio, known colloquially as Mt Baldy because of its bald face.

The Baldy Bowl Trail, or the Ski Hut Trail, is the shortest way up to the summit of Mount San Antonio (Mt. Baldy), the highest point in Los Angeles County. In order to achieve this however, the trail more or less bombs up the side of the mountain and is quite steep. This is a fantastic, well-marked trail and a great challenge for any hiker with a perfect spot to rest at the Sierra Club Ski Hut about 2/3s of the way to the summit.
