Free Things To Do This Weekend In Southern California

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- In today’s economy families are looking harder for free things to do in Southern California.

This weekend only the Mt Baldy Chamber of Commerce is offering something a little different. The Chamber is giving away free Mt Baldy scenic ride lift tickets. The chair lift reaches an elevation of 7,800 with a view of Catalina Island on one side of the mountain and Apple Valley on the other.

“The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is very nice but we are a lot closer and cheaper,” states Keith Hunt President of the Mt Baldy Chamber of Commerce.

“We want Southland residents to experience all the mountain has to offer. Mt Baldy is one of the most photographed landmarks in Southern California but many don’t realize that we are real tourist destination.”

“By giving away free tickets families can a taste of Mt Baldy risk free and hopefully come back for more.”

“The Ski Lift ride is very popular with hikers as the first part of their ascent to Mt Baldy peak across Devil’s Backbone.”

“Those that are not so energetic can walk around, enjoy the view and then hang out in the Top of the Notch Restaurant,” concludes Hunt.

Free scenic ride lift tickets are only available online from the Mt Baldy Chamber of Commerce. This offer is not available directly from the Ski Area Ticket Office. Obtain tickets by clicking here: http://mtbaldychamber.com/may

Once the order has been placed an email confirmation will be sent. This confirmation is redeemed at the Ski Area Ticket Office with valid picture ID in exchange for actual ticket.

Mt Baldy is a located only minutes immediately north of Upland and Claremont off the 210 freeway.
