Mount Ol' Baldy is a hill located in Garner State Park.

Panoramic outlook near the peak of Mount Old Baldy. The contrast of barren, rocky ground against the foliage alongside its peak represents the "bald head" which serves as the mountain's namesake.

The mountain overlooks a portion of the Frio River, which spans 250 miles of Central Texas. ^[5]
