Mount Baldy

Snoqualmie Region

updated 3 days ago

The trail to Mount Baldy is currently closed due to the Three Queens Fire, as reported on October 3. While one report from October 8 indicated the closure order had been reduced and the trail was in great shape with blowdowns cleared, the most recent update on November 7 suggests the trail itself is open and snow-free, suitable for all vehicles. However, this report also notes the hike is very steep. It's important to verify the current closure status before planning a trip.
