Description Suggest change

Begin by taking the hiking trail to the summit of Sugarloaf (cl. 1-2). From the summit of Sugarloaf, descent on the North Ridge until you can head up toward Mt. Baldy (cl. 2). Descent Mt. Baldy to the Southwest and take the dirt road to the summit of Hidden Peak (cl. 1). Enjoy the running water at the summit of Hidden Peak before descending to the West. When you have the option, jump on the Northeast Ridge of the American Fork Twins and take it to the summit (cl. 3). Make sure to bag the Western (true) summit of the Twins. From the summit of the Twins, it's an easy walk to Red Top (cl. 1). Take the West Ridge of Red Top as it becomes the East Ridge of Red Baldy (cl. 3). The crux is the final traverse from Red Baldy to White Baldy. Choose your own adventure as you scramble up the granitoid blocks to the top of White Baldy (cl. 4). Descent the Northwest Ridge of White Baldy (cl. 3-4) and take the hiking trail back to White Pine Trailhead. Optionally, you can link the East Ridge of the Pfeifferhorn (cl. 3) and descend via Red Pine instead.
