day trip to baldy............................

I recently headed up the mountain on a Sunday afternoon with my young nephews for some sightseeing and a little adventure. Mount Baldy is just a few short miles north of the 210 fwy,on a winding yet well paved two lane road. In the heart of Baldy Village is The Baldy Lodge,a really cool place to check out,great for indoor or outdoor dining,great sandwiches and more,i have had the club and the grilled cheese with onion rings. The Baldy Lodge also rents a few cabins,best in wintertime when there is snow! More info from the Baldy Lodge website; http://mtbaldylodge.com Visit us in the center of Mt Baldy Village, 4000ft above the smog and heat; nestled beautifully in the heart of Southern California's oak, pine and bay trees. Make a day or an afternoon trip for great food or a cocktail. Relax on our patio with only the birds chirping in the background or on a cool day sit fireside sipping some cappucino. Spend your night playing pool, foosball, jukebox music, and chatting it up with the locals. Or, live out your Idol dreams with a round of raucous karaoke! Enjoy unique live music on Saturday nights. We are open Monday through Friday at 11am, and Saturday and Sunday at 9am for breakfast. If you want to stay overnight, we have cozy cabins for rent, beach volleyball, basketball, swimming and horseshoe pits. Enjoy world-class road and mountain biking, and endless hiking and running trails beginning right at our doorstep. We are located within a hour from L.A. and the OC, and only 15 minutes from the 210 Freeway North of Claremont and Upland.
