| Dartmouth Hiker | Via Old Baldy  Date Climbed: Nov 15, 2009 | |
| My first southern AZ hike (on a nice day anyway), and I was quite impressed! It was in the 30s/40s the entire way up, with a few small patches of snow on the ground and ice in the pines. Besides being a bit hazy, summit views were perfect. Felt easier to hike than the 4000' gain would have you believe! | |

| A perfect day - 103 in Tucson and about 70 on the top of Wrightson when we summited. Took our time and about 60 pics - 4 hrs up and 2 1/2 hrs down. My all time favorite in south AZ. | |

| weeds19 | Great Trail Date Climbed: Apr 18, 2009 | |
| Most of my recent outings have been of the bushwhacking type so this one offered a nice change. Ran up Old Baldy trail in preparation for a late summer race. The switchback section was certainly difficult to run. | |

| A spectacular hike. My favorite in Arizona so far. I started early and was in shade all day. Wildflowers and wildlife were abundant, I saw 5 deer on the trail. Round trip, taking my time and lots of pictures, took me 5.5 hours. Great hike! | |

| RedRoxx44 | Fall flower hike Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2007 | |
| Up the Old Baldy and down the Super trail. Tons of flowers at the Baldy Saddle. Sad to go thru the burn area around the backside, looks like the top of the Gardner canyon trail is toast, literally. Again, stellar views at the top, not as hazy as usual. | |

| oldadit | Long day for Jane Date Climbed: Oct 9, 1999 | |
| Hiked from Gardner Canyon with my family, the Jones family, and Edward Earl. Jane was a bit under motivated, but finally sped up when we spied the top. I'd been up a couple times before in 1970+-. Good views from sharp, bald top. | |

| Great climb... this was actually my third attempt (first time I had footwear problems, the second time I was sick and just out for the day). A bit hot starting out but it was pleasant at the summit. Annoyingly buggy the whole way up. | |

| goat14er | Old Baldy and Super Trails Date Climbed: May 4, 2008 | |
| Great day hike and escape from the heat below. Lots of bugs aruond Old Baldy Saddle, but suspect that won't last for too much longer | |

| rfbolton | With my wife! Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2008 | |
| Wonder of wonders, my wife made it to the summit of Wrightson! She was trashed but elated both at the top and back at the car. We used the Old Baldy Trail. Perfect day. | |

| Dean | Outstanding hike Date Climbed: Apr 13, 2008 | |
| With Bill Bens and Rick Hartman, we went up the old Baldy trail. I really enjoyed this one and it could easily become my favorite in Arizona. | |

| Sbrande | Beautiful Hike Date Climbed: Apr 21, 1995 | |
| A wonderful place. The north and east side had a lot of snow, and I saw a large line of turkeys about half way up. | |

| Montana Matt | One of my favorites Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1999 | |
| One of my first hikes in Arizona. It is also one of my favorites. I have summited this peak numerous times from both the Old Baldy trail and coming up Florida Canyon. It is great to hike any time of year. | |

| Climbed this in 1998. Did it several other times...in snow, and in heat! A classic summit in Southern AZ! | |

| PeakMule | Re: Old Baldy Trail | |
| Sorry I didn't see your note until now. At the time of my hike, last summer, Old Baldy was the only trail open to Wrightson. The "Florida" fire did a real number on the others, particularly the route from Gardner Canyon. | |

| ericnoel | Wrightson Date Climbed: Apr 19, 2007 | |
| Took the Super Trail to Josephine Saddle and then the Old Baldy trail for the rest of the way as well as down. A very pleasant hike and the grade is fairly gentle the whole way. Very expansive views from the summit. | |

| Andinistaloco | Re: Old Baldy Trail | |
| Peakmule, Are the Wrightson trails open to the summit now? Since I've moved out of Tucson it's harder to keep up with the news. If they are I'll make a note on the page. | |

| This is a great hike on a fabulous trail. Lots of switchbacks near the summit. Fantastic views in all directions. | |
