About the event

Peak Challenge: Mt. Baldy + Blacktail Rocks
When: Tuesday, August 12, 2025

Time: 10:45AM-5PM (approximate end time)

Please arrive at the trailhead between 10:45AM and 11AM. We will begin our hike promptly at 11AM.

Where: We will meet at the Mt. Baldy Trailhead.

About the hike and what to expect: We will hike at a moderate pace and stick together as a group. Hikers can plan to stop for water and snack breaks, a lunch break, and photo and educational opportunities along the way. This is an out-and-back route on an established trail. Switchbacks lead up the face of Mt. Baldy, with a short scramble here and there. A wide ridge ascends toward the base of Blacktail Rocks, and then a steeper trail leads up to its peak. The small, rocky summit at 4,390 feet elevation offers 360-degree views (weather permitting) of the surrounding Chugach State Park lands.

Difficulty: moderate to strenuous for most people
Mileage: Approximately 8 miles
Elevation Gain: About 3,000 feet
Estimated Hiking Time: About 5-6 hours
