Mar 12, 2018 — Mt. Wrightson is the highest point in the Santa Rita Mountains. There are two trails to the summit from Madera Canyon, the Old Baldy Trail and the Super Trail. The former is steeper and shorter, while the latter seems to pretty much circumnavigate most of Mt. Wrightson. I intended to combine the two trails to make a loop, but after summiting Mt. Wrightson, I was able to pretty much follow the Super Trail's route and decided the extra few miles weren't really worth the effort and just headed back down the Old Baldy Trail. The first half of the trail is covered with trees with some glimpses of Mt. Wrightson, and after reaching the Josephine Saddle, you start to get nicer views of Mt. Wrightson and also back down Madera Canyon.
