Trail Overview
Old Baldy is one of several scenic overlooks in the park and is located near the camping areas in Area A. This spot is popular for photos and features a posing pad at the top. There are three chutes that provide access to the pad. The left chute offers the easiest line, while the middle and right chutes are more challenging and require careful tire placement. Vehicles with a longer wheelbase may experience skid plate contact on the right chute, depending on ground clearance and approach angle.

Difficulty
The trail has a slight elevation gain and features obstacles on all three chutes used to access the peak, also known as "The Posing Pad." Skid plate contact is likely when taking the more difficult lines. Loose gravel may cause wheel spin and can be thrown rearward during climbs.
