What an amazing day! We started around 7am and it was cold and wet outside. Because we were unsure what the conditions at the top would be like we dressed in all of our layers. After about 15 minutes of walking up the trail we began to strip and wish that we didn’t bring so much. Once above the clouds the sun was shinning and the views were stunning! We spent the day putting on layers when we stopped and then quickly stripping them off once we hiked. The stretch going up the ski slopes past the notch was an intense climb! I’m definitely feeling sore in my calves today. All in all it was an amazing hike. I’m happy that Mount Baldy is now in the bag!
