What to Expect

Take in sweeping mountain views aboard Mt. Baldy’s scenic chairlifts. Chair #1, the Sugar Pine Chair Lift, connects the Base Area with Top of the Notch at 7,800 feet, with a ride of approximately 20 minutes. From Top of the Notch, guests can enjoy the mountain recreation area, access hiking trails, or continue higher on Chair #4 (subject to availability) to approximately 8,600 feet near the Devil’s Backbone trailhead.

Choose a One-Way Scenic Ride for a single ride, perfect for pairing with a hike. Choose a Round-Trip Scenic Ride for greater flexibility to explore the mountain by lift.
