Route Description for Mount Baldy via Domerie Divide Trail
Mount Baldy is a lesser-known gem with spectacular views of the Stuart Range and Mount Rainier at the summit. This hike is infamous for 3.2 km-4.8 km of the trail, which are aggressively straight up on dusty footing. Bring poles for this section and be prepared to slog. Additionally, this trail is exposed to the sun and hot, so we strongly recommend sunscreen and extra water on sunny days.
Begin from the trailhead. Cross Silver Creek and begin to switchback. The first section to the rock face is a solid warm-up. Once you’re into the second mile, things get rough with a steep, dry trail that makes slipping all too easy. Poles are a must here. Once you crest the ridge, go right and traverse to the summit. Soak up those views before tackling the descent.
