Hiking the peak:


The shortest route is the Old Baldy Trail, a steady climb of nearly 4000' over 9 miles round-trip to the exposed summit. The Super Trail, also from the Madera Canyon trailhead, is not as steep but is far longer. To reach the trailhead, take exit 63 off of I-19 south of Tucson, and turn east toward Continental. Turn right on Whitehorse Cyn. Rd, following it until it eventually turns into Madera Canyon Road. Parking is plentiful at and below the trailhead, which is at the end of the road.


Take plenty of water and be aware of wildlife. It is a prime birding area and black bears are common. There is a saddle two miles into the hike which offers an easy dayhike with dramatic views of this peak.
