DRIVING ROUTE 1

Take the 210 freeway east to Baseline Road exit in the City of Claremont. Turn left (west) at the bottom of the off-ramp onto Baseline Road.
Almost immediately, take the first right (north) onto Padua Ave.
Go 1.8 miles north on Padua to the intersection with Mount Baldy Rd. Turn right (northeast).
Take this road northeast and then north about seven miles to Glendora Ridge Road in Mt. Baldy Village. Turn left.
Go about a mile to Cow Canyon Saddle, where a large lot is marked "No Parking". Continue slightly further on the road, then park on the south side.

Note: There is a good parking lot for ridesharing in this area. To get there, after turning west on Baseline Road, continue past Padua Avenue a short distance to Mills Avenue. Turn north on Mills, and continue to Mt. Baldy Road. The parking lot is at the northeast corner of this intersection.

HIKING ROUTE 1

From the parking area (4523'), cross to the south side of the road and go up a firebreak to the summit.

It is also possible to hike the road to the summit, keeping left at a junction. This adds 2 miles each way to the hike. This route crosses private property. This route passes a locked and posted gate. If ownership has not changed, this card gives you permission to walk on the road.
