Started shortly after 7 a.m. from Manker Flat. Decided to do the loop in reverse and took the Baldy Bowl trail up. Reached the ski hut at about 9 a.m. Took a good break there for a snack and to hydrate. The started back up around 9:30 a.m. Really started to feel the elevation on the way up and took my time getting to the top. Made it to the top around noon. Didn't linger too long as there was a lot of people up there, just long enough to eat some food, re-hydrate and snap a few pictures. Took the backbone down and stopped at the lodge for a beer. Then made it back to Manker Flat about 4:45 p.m. Definitely recommend doing the loop in reverse. The Baldy Bowl trail is super steep and I would have probably injured myself trying to come down that way.
