It was a semi-warm one with not many people on the trail, that is, until I caught up to the junction where some hikers/trail runners were starting from the much closer Mt. Baldy section.

This one was gorgeous. Much like Mt. Tam and Diablo, you can drive up to this summit if you simply want to enjoy the view… BUT, if you are willing to put in the hard work and sweat, it makes it just that much sweeter and rewarding. Pretty easy going, with some steep as hell sections tossed in, but I would not call this one more challenging than the previous two peaks I mentioned. I'd call this one a great “starter peak” for anyone wanting to get into summit hikes.

10/10, would hike again.

Peak number 8 of 9 down, on the SF Bay Area Six Pack of Peaks Challenge. ❤️‍🔥
