There are a number of peaks named Baldy, primarily in the English-speaking countries of Canada and the United States. The popularity of the name Baldy, at least for higher peaks, may be related to the tree line, an elevation beyond which trees cannot tolerate the environmental conditions. The absence of trees past the tree line may give a mountain a bald or baren appearance, hence the name Baldy.
