Description

Mount Baldy is located 19 miles (31 km) southeast of downtown Salt Lake City at the Alta Ski Area in the Wasatch–Cache National Forest. [3] The peak is part of the Wasatch Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's north slope drains to Little Cottonwood Creek, whereas the south slope drains into headwaters of the American Fork River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 3,000 feet (914 meters) above Little Cottonwood Canyon in 1.5 mile (2.4 km). This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [2]

Climate

Mount Baldy has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), bordering on an Alpine climate (Köppen ET), with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. [4] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer.
