It was early June 2025. I was glad to be back here again at the trail to Mount Baldy, after what had been at least a year. My last summit was May 2024, on Mother's Day weekend. There was still snow covering much of the mountain then. But now, Baldy was in the clear, and snow-free. Today would be a solo summit of Mount Baldy heading up the Ski Hut Trail and down the Devil's Backbone Trail. The hike would be 12 miles with 3400 feet of gain.
