Mt San Antonio

10/10 hike especially when on baldy bowl the final stretch to the summit in the snow was so amazing, i would definitely come back some day, buy adventure pass and come early in the morning or late at night because traffic can get bad, the full summit hike took me 6 hours

A ton of snow, sun and island views. I don't recall to have ever seen Catalina from Mt. Baldy but today we were lucky!

Taking the Baldy Bowl Trail, it was a killer hike. Not an easy hike so I wouldn't take it lightly. However, absolutely gorgeous and completely worth it. The Devil's Backbone is a much easier trail to hike, just a bit longer. Very popular hike, recommend get here early. Views are incredible.

Worth it for the views at the summit and fun downhill via the ski hut. The weather was 52F and winds at 6/hr at the top for a summer hike in mid July. Parked at Manker campground and went via the ski lift area and onto devil’s backbone to the summit. Mostly fire road and scree after backbone then scree and a rocky, steeper technical descent into the ski hut and back down to the waterfall area and campground. Under 10 miles for the loop. Started later than I wanted at 8:30 and was already sunny and warm, single layer weather. Drank about 2.5L. Two hours up and an hour down on a training trail run. Loved the sea of clouds views. There were some colorful wildflowers surrounding a stream down by the ski hut. Look for the yellow tipped posts from rock fields upwards. I’d leave earlier and have a cooler ascent. Glad I brought the cap with face and neck flaps. I wouldn’t do it in winter unless I went with an experienced hiker and had crampons as there’re many rocks on the descent towards the ski hut and backbone would be quite dangerous.

Unforgettable experience with incredible 360 views of the urban jungle, San Gabriel range, and the desert. First 10K summit, and more to come. Please come prepared for the hike

There are many ways to hike this peak, the highest in LA County, but I did the Register Ridge-Ski Hut Loop today. There were nice views throughout, and this trail was steep and gained 4,000 feet. The views from up here on Baldy were amazing as always, and the summit was crowded more than my liking, but still very nice.

The most amazing camping trip I’ve been on. The mornings are very surreal with the clouds at that elevation. I highly recommend 10 out of 10.

Great trail and a very cool experience. First things first. This is not a casual hike and for many it will one of the hardest hikes you have done. With that said the trail is well defined and for the most part it is well maintained. A word of caution the ski chalet route can get questionable at times so next time I do this one I will be going back the same way I came up via devils backbone. This is a great hike if you want to challenge yourself and the views are just gorgeous. It is windy at the top so bring a light jacket and poles are helpful. Enjoy your trip to the summit!
