arrived at the trailhead at 515 am and started hiking by 530.
made it to the ski hut by around 715 or so...
i have never been up here before and it was love at first sight
the ski hut area is beautiful..
looking up baldy bowl made me excited.i couldnt wait to explore up there
but first i had to get rid of a few pounds
one of the highlights of my trip was the view from the outhouse
feeling lighter and refreshed i continue my journey..what a great trail
i remember taco del rio talking about good camp spots in the area so
im keeping an eye out...
baldy bowl must be awesome in winter
up up and up i go..i guess working out in the gym is paying off
this trail wasnt as hard as i thought it would be..or maybe the views
are distracting me from the pain..but i dont feel bad..i could go on all day
when you reach the top of the ridge from the ski hut there are some great camp sites..i cant wait to beup here at night.
i dont even care about reaching the top.im just happy being where im at
all good things must come to an end..looks like im almost there
took me 31 years to make it up..since i was a lil kid i been looking up
towards the summit...today is a great day.
i had the summit all to myself for about 7 whole minutes
i arrived at 9am..but my watch read 420 !!!!!...blaze it
next time im going down the backbone..going down the ski hut trail
was harder than going up.
the fun part of going down was watching the hikers who started later
coming up..it was hot and they were all suffering..all 200 people i seen
looked miserably happy..im glad i started early
since it was only 11am and its fathers day and its hot as hell
im going to hit my second favorite spot
life is good
Sure looks like it.
