Re: BALDY - Archive of Mt. Baldy-related Discussions

Re: Wilderness Crest Trail (Cucamonga Peak)

Tim,
Thank you. It is because we are not expereinced, and we have all agreed that we have no problem turning around if it gets icy. Its a new trail for us so it is also a chance to see something different, even if just a bit of it.
