6/12 – Mission Complete!
Actually, Challenge Complete! The Six Pack of Peaks Challenge, that is! Great experience.. Great fun..Good times! Today, was the last of six So Cal hikes. Twelfth overall, including six hikes in San Diego county. Mt. Baldy via the Baldy Bowl-Ski Hut trail was, IMHO, our most difficult hike to date.

Morning was crisp and clear. It started to warm up after getting to higher elevations. Most of the trail was decent but, those with weak ankles should be cautious. Lots of rocks and loose gravel. As always, the #slownsteadysocal crew made this epic hike hike lots of fun. Thanks to @socialhiker for the #sixpackofpeakschallenge.
