Old Baldy

At Old Baldy, 221 limestone stairs cut into the hillside start out gently then progress to steep steps to the top of this 1182 foot tall HILL!

Hike up around cedar trees, cactus, and occasional wildflowers on the way to the flat, rocky top of this regionally-famous mountain. At the top are 360-degree views of the town of Wimberely and the green, tree-dense vista all around. Beautiful and quiet.

It’s easy to miss the trailhead on La Toya street where the Old Baldy hike starts, so be on the lookout! There are small gravel turnouts on each side of the road. The climbing steps are on one side. The other side has a green metal “It’s UNLAWFUL to litter” sign across from the stairs.

This is a 4.3-acre tract of property located at 33 LaToya Circle just off FM 2325, approximately 2.5 miles from Wimberley Town Square. In the year 2014, Old Baldy, was put up for sale. Because of risk of development or closing to public use, the “Save Old Baldy Foundation” was formed. By 2015, with the help of the Wimberley community, the “Save Old Baldy Foundation” raised enough funds to assist the City of Wimberley in the purchase of the land, so people of all ages could experience and enjoy Old Baldy for many years to come. It was then established as the City of Wimberley’s newest city park, Old Baldy Park. Once at the top of the 218 rock steps, you’ll be rewarded with 360-degree views of the Wimberley valley.
