Review:
Named for its strikingly bare peak, Mount Baldy is the highest mountain in the state outside of the San Francisco Peaks area. Two trails, known as West Baldy and East Baldy, lead up the mountain to a point near the summit; each trail is approximately 7 miles in length, and they can be combined to make a loop. However, the mountain's summit lies inside the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and is off-limits to hikers unless they get special permission. The mountain also produces more rivers and streams than any other in the state, and it offers the best trout fishing streams in Arizona.
