 From a campground in Water Canyon (accessed from the northeast side of the range), a trail follows Forest Road 406 and then Trail 10 up Copper Canyon to the main crest of the range, where it joins Trail 8, the North Baldy Trail, which follows the crest.A short hike south on this trail and a little off-trail ascent leads to the summit of South Baldy.The peak is the site of an annual mountain bike ascent race up the Langmuir Road as part of the Tour of Socorro.
