In this adventure, we climb the Baldy Mountain Trail in Northern BC, just past the community of Longworth BC.
The trailhead is about 2 hours drive from Prince George, BC. There is virtually no water on this trail, except for a sometimes non-existent water hole a little over 1/2 way up as shown in the video. The last 2 times I hiked this trail we got flat tires on this road so be prepared for that as the rocks are larger and sharper on this section of the logging road past Longworth BC. There is no cell service at lower elevations, but you may get a signal as you approach the summit. This is one of the hardest hikes in the area as it climbs steeply most of the trail and requires a lot of route finding as the trail can be easily lost from time to time. Trail markers do exist from the trailhead to 3/4 of the way up to the sub-apline. This trail should only be hiked if you have a good amount of back-country experience or you are hiking with a person who has such experience or knows the trail well.
