Old Baldy Mountain is a peak in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, in Okanogan County, Washington, 10 miles northwest of Conconully. [4] The height is listed at modern sources as 7,844 ft [5] [6] or 7,849 ft [2] or 7,854 ft. [1] Older government maps showed 7,870 feet elevation. [7] There is a geodetic survey benchmark at 7,848 ft near the summit. [8] Some sources show the mountain in the Okanogan Range. [2] [9]
Baldy Pass is a 6,375-foot (1,943 m) pass about one kilometer northeast of the peak, [3] and is traversed by Forest Service Road 37. [10] [11] The Golden Stairway multipurpose motorcycle/biking/hiking trail (not to be confused with the Golden Stairs on Alaska's Chilkoot Trail) leads to Old Baldy. [12] [13]
Government maps as of 1963 showed a fire lookout tower on the peak, [5] but it was not mentioned in the National Geodetic Survey in 1956. [8] Part of the mountain was burned in the 2006 Tripod Complex Fire, [12] and the area between Old Baldy and Tripod Peak burned in the Cub Creek 2 Fire in late July, 2021. [14]
The name of the United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute series topographic quadrangle map containing Old Baldy Mountain is "Old Baldy, WA". [15]
