Description:

This hike has 3 distance options: #1 = 13.8 miles, #2 = 11.2 miles, #3 = 6.2 miles.

The #1 route will follow the Ridgeline Trail from the Blanton Trailhead to Mt. Baldy, and will include the Tie Trail and Spencer Butte summit on the hike out to Mt. Baldy. Following a lunch break at Mt. Baldy, these hikers will then return along the Ridgeline to the Blanton Trailhead WITHOUT repeating the Tie and Butte portions of the route. The #2 route will be the same as #1 EXCEPT it will NOT include the Tie Trail and Spencer Butte portion either direction. The #3/shortest route will be from the Blanton Trailhead to Mt. Baldy, and also NOT include the Tie Trail and Spencer Butte portion, instead continuing on to the Spring Trailhead (.5 miles past Mt. Baldy bench/rest area at the top), and returning to the Blanton Trailhead by car shuttle. Since the shuttle will only be available to a limited # of hikers, please let the trip leader know as soon as possible if you are interested in the short/shuttle route.

The first/long route will most likely take 6 hours including a lunch break at Mt. Baldy and a few brief rest stops as needed, especially on the return. Depending on the weather, the leaders will plan on making extra water available at the Mt. Baldy lunch stop.
