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.

The trail was reported as being in good condition on October 8, with all blowdowns cleared. A report on November 7 also indicated the trail is snow-free and suitable for hiking, though it emphasizes the steepness of the trail.
Reports from October 8 and November 7 both state that the road is suitable for all vehicles. The spur road to the trailhead was also brushed out and widened according to the October 8 report.

That one mile that gains 1500 ft to Para Point is horrendous coming down. I caught myself in a dirt slide 4 times and fell on my booty on the 5th slide. I didn’t have poles because I had my dog’s leas...
