Hastings Peak: 02-05-2011

Hiked up to Hastings Peak today with Hikin_Jim via Bailey Cyn. Trail. Also joining us were Will, John and turtle - nice to meet you guys. Decided to take the crossover trail to catch the Mt. Wilson Trail back down to a shuttle car at Lizzie's Trail Inn. Cool temps at first, but it actually got kind of warm - typical for a front country hike.
Turtle did laps around us as we enjoyed tea on the summit.
Pics.
Trail is in fantastic shape - best I've ever seen it. A nice use trail has taken form on the Hastings Ridge compared to the free for all it was after they bulldozed a firebreak during the Station Fire.
