Noon: Begin hike. Choose from a variety of options:
Cirque Trail: Breathtaking views await you on this moderately strenuous trail. While the cliff sides may be daunting for novice hikers, the reward is well worth the climb. Please note that the descent can be steep and slippery, making it challenging for those new to hiking or who are out of shape.
Wildflower to the Ski Tunnel: Easier hike that ends at the Peruvian ski lift with options to take the lift down or take the Peruvian Gulch/service road trails down to the base.
Mt. Baldy: A great option for less experienced hikers. Enjoy the scenery and then ride the Peruvian ski lift down for a more leisurely return.
Peruvian Gulch/service road: The service road offers a less challenging alternative. While it doesn't provide the same breathtaking views, it's a good option for those who want a more leisurely descent after enjoying the mountain top.
