DESCRIPTION: If you’ve ever looked north of campus on a day that the smog isn’t too thick, you’ve seen Mt. Baldy. It’s the tallest mountain in Los Angeles, clocking in at 10,064 ft, and one of the most popular hiking destinations in the City. While the hike to the summit can be steep, rocky, and hot, the stunning view of DTLA from the summit are always worth the trek.
