The last 500 meters towards the upper west viewpoint is closed for maintenance. Heiko’s trail and the upper east viewpoint on the trail are open.
BALDY LOOP: ✅ Open We recommend starting this hike using the trailhead at the bottom of the Red Eagle Lodge. The trail just had a fresh cut and is in great shape.
