Baldy from the village is a serious hike – 6000ft elevation gain in 6 miles. This is always part of my training regimen, and it is always difficult. After having done this one, Whitney in a day didn't seem so bad haha! I actually think my brain tumor made this hike more difficult than in years past – I was easily fatigued so it was disappointing to me, but the landscape is beautiful and … I did it. My favorite part was actually hitting Harwood on the way back down – no one else was there, unlike crazy Baldy, and it was absolutely beautiful! There was an earthquake monitoring system up there, and the views were great. Another one in the books
