Hellos!
Today i went to the top of mt baldy for the 3rd time this week, Wednesday i took skihut to top to devils backbone to dirt road n down to san antonio falls to car, did the same route on saturday, and now the longer but nicer way today.
I started at the Mt Baldy trail in the village again today, and this time started early enough, , 11am, to go to the summit and back on this trail .(i started to late on sunday so only went halfway), its about 6 miles (one way) from here.
And , imo anyway, much nicer than skihut trail or devilsbackbone. Its way prettier, and nicer in general, and more suitable for trailrunning, i was able to run the whole way back down, and, on the way up- some sections above 7500ft and everything above 9200ft, lotsa parts too steep to try n run, for me anyway- . but its a good walkies trail too! and good for pics, and theres more tree squirrels than people. Since i just posted pics in my last trip report of start of trail to 8000ft, I only took mostly pics today of above 8000-to summit, thats why not a lot of pics, if you want to see the rest of this trail, look at my post from yesterday here in TripReports called Walkies n pics.....


Only six!

Definitely nice pics. Motivating me to get out there. I was over on Cuca a few weeks ago, but I haven't done Baldy for a while.
