Awesome hike up Baldy with a late start, hitting the trail at 8:20.  Trail free of snow until below the bowl, with a good amount of coverage on the switchbacks coming out of the bowl and along the final stretch to the summit.  After reaching the top, made the short trip over to West Baldy, which was almost completely snow covered.  Used trekking poles and microspikes, which I donned right before the snowy climb over the switchbacks.  Crowded day.
