Got in a quick hike up Baldy today
Left a bit after 7 AM from Manker flats and went up Register Ridge to Harwood then to Baldy and down the Bowl/Ski hut trail. Compared to my sane hike on Oscar Sunday, it was balmy -- hardly any wind and not cold. I wore shorts and t-shirt for most of the hike. Enjoyed brunch on Baldy while eyeing on the high clouds -- I felt impending snow. Met a really nice guy with a yellow lab at Manker flats and again on the way down the Bowl. Made good time and was back at my car a bit before 12 noon. There is still ice on the switchbacks dropping into the bowl. Although I had microspikes, I was able to avoid the icy sections. Conditions may change with the predicted snow/high winds tomorrow.
Miles of smiles,
