Spent Friday night on Baldy after hiking up Tyler Peak trail and Tyler Peak. Then Saturday was a hike up and over Gray Wolf N. peak to Gray Wolf S. peak, then returning to Baldy and down Maynard Burn trail. All four peaks were snow free, with the exception of a few moderate snowfields on the North side of Gray Wolf S. peak.
As others have reported, Tyler Peak trail is in great shape - logged and brushed and new lower angle switchbacks in several locations. Maynard Burn trail has a little minor overgrowth here and there and several downed trees that are easy to pass.
There's water flowing strong from the creek at 4300' on the Tyler Peak trail, and a small stream in the first meadow higher up at 4860'. The Spring in the small valley just East of the summit of Baldy at 5950' (300' below the top of the Maynard Burn Trail) is flowing well.

Did you pack water into your campsite or refill at each of the places listed in your report? (Not familiar with the this trail)
Thanks

I refilled at each place listed to avoid carrying multiple liters of water 3000 vertical feet - worth the few extra minutes to filter IMHO, even the short hike down to the 5950' creek. I've only been to these water sources in early to mid summer though - no idea if they are dry or not this late in the Fall.
