Ontario Peak

This was a great day to hike.  It has been much cooler the past couple of days and I had cloud cover for most of the day.  It felt great for a long, tough hike.  After doing Cucamonga and Mt. Baldy this week on hotter days I felt pretty good about my speed on this one.  I got to the saddle after an hour and 45 minutes.  I chatted briefly with another hiker coming down from Ontario and he was the last person I saw until I got back down to the saddle again after the summit.  There were much fewer people on the trail today and I’m not sure why since it was such a nice temperature.  As I took a selfie at the summit since no one else was there I noticed some dark clouds overhead and decided I better head back down.  For a while it looked like the clouds were going to move past, but just as I started down after the saddle there was a short rainstorm.  Luckily it didn’t last long and it felt pretty good.  I knew that today would be a long hike, but since I did Cucamonga the other day I knew I could handle it.  Great hike!
