Just got back from Baylor Peak. I like to hike it at least once a year. I prefer trails that I can do without needing full climbing gear, and although the the section from the pass to the peak is not easy, it doesn't require gear. It was just as dry and full of cactus as last year, and the views are still just as amazing.

From the parking lot to the pass, it's a really easy family hike, but once you make the turn north and begin heading up to the peak, it begins to demand a little more endurance and stamina.

I recommend plenty of water, snacks and a good hiking stick/pole.

Here's last year's trip up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0OUvcCPYf0
