About Rock Garden:

This small bouldering area lies at the base of the Baldy Bowl on Mt. San Antonio/Mt. Baldy. The approach is a long hike in but the views and cool temps during the summer months make it a fun place to visit. Descent granite and short sit start climbs are concentrated in a rock field below the summit. !!!BAD LANDINGS!!! many climbs have sharp broken rock that litter the floor so bring a bouldering pad or two and please be courteous of day hikers sharing the trail.
Nearest town or city: Rancho Cucamonga
Directions: Take Mt.Baldy Rd from the cities of Upland or Claremont. Drive up this road until you reach Manker Flats then park at the upper end. (A National Forest Adventure Pass is required to park here) To the left side will be a paved and gated road, (Falls road) follow this for 0.6 mile to reach the San Antonio falls. Go up the hairpin turn and continue for another 0.3 mile, you will see a narrow path on the left angling up the slope with a sign that says Mt Baldy Trail, this is also known as the the Ski Hut Trail. After 2.5 miles from the start of the Mt Baldy Trail, you will reach the Ski Hut, leaving the Ski Hut and crossing the small creek, the trail curves west and ascends to a boulder field on both sides of the trail.
