In this video, my girlfriend and myself hike up the Mt Baldy summit, using the bowl trail. It is a very steep hike of 5.1 miles from the maker flats trail head. We stop at the old ski hut at about a the third of the way to the summit and show you around. Then continue to the top and over the north face to a little spot I usually take a break at. We make lunch, then water and continue across the devils backbone, adding 3.2 miles and to the modern day ski hut, or notch. At this point we were ready for a cold coke and find an alternate way down the last 2.7 miles of fire road. The only way to fly! We started about 8am and with about a 45 minute rest on the summit and another 15 minutes in the bar, our backsides were in the car at about 4pm or so. A long walk and my ladies first summit on Mt Baldy. My hats off to her.
