Mt. Baldy Summit hike last winter - 10,084 ft

I can't do Sundays - I have to work in the afternoon - you need to start doing things on Saturdays!!! Sunday is the lord's day lol

the first part up without the lift isn't hard - its just boooooring switchbacks thats right underneath the lift to the lodge. Most people who do the hike in the winter take the lift to the lodge and begin their ascent from there. I've done it both ways. Winter time is A LOT more rewarding!

After your Sunday Baldy trip lets set one up for a Saturday - Mt. Wilson is fun! 17 miles RT - Santa Monica mountains is a another good option

Kody, when I see you standing here at the top of the Sun Gate at Machu Picchu in Peru after hiking 27 miles of the Inca Trail, then maybe I'll consider you worthy as a hiker

Was 38 degree on the summit but the windchill like 34 and lower on the way down got much warmer, always bring extra warm clothes lolz.. At the base around 40 degree 530am.
