Amazing! I arrived at Manker Flats campground around 8:15 AM. My intention was to hike up Baldy bowl via the Sierra Club ski hut, and come down Devil's Backbone. I ended up walking right past Baldy Bowl trailhead, and ended up at the top of the ski-lift (Baldy Notch). From there I asked where the trail went and a lady pointed me towards the Turkey Chute ski run, a couple hundred yards north of the ski lift to the left. I should have gone right because that's where Devil's Backbone starts. In my opinion Turkey Chute was one of the hardest parts of the entire hike. I eventually met up with Devil's Backbone, which was incredible!! Definitely not for someone with a fear of heights! To the north I could see Cajon Pass (I-15) as it climbs into the Mojave Desert. To the south was a 3000 foot steep descent into ice-house canyon, with Mt. Cucamonga in the distance. The next challenge was the final 1/4-1/2 mile to the top. With the altitude and energy depleted It took me about 50 minutes. At around Noon I reached the summit for an hour long celebratory rest! I met other hikers, and found out about the Six Pack of Peaks Challenge. It was so motivating to have reached the summit! From there I could see 3 of the other peaks in the challenge, San Gorgonio, San Jacinto, and Cucamonga. At 1:00 I descended down the Baldy Bowl trail, and reached my car around 3:50. The trail was clearly marked and in good condition, except in a few spots near the bottom of the bowl where the trail disappears into a giant rock slide. When I saw one of the markers, I stacked a rock cairn in order to help a couple of other hikers who I had passed earlier. The weather was perfect, but I did run out of water at the ski hut. I was lucky it wasn't too hot, but it was foolish on my part to not bring a full gallon, which I highly recommend for this hike. I am not sure which hike to do next, but I will be back in a week!
