Old Mt. Baldy Hike - - - July 30, 2011

Hiked this  mountain with my wonderful hubby. We hiked an elevation gain of 3564 feet. Starting at 6500 feet and reaching the summit at 10,064 feet. 11.4 miles in 5 hours! So fun! There was thunder and lighting at the top, but we didn't get any rain. Fun Info- Mt. San Antonio is the higher than the highest point in 37 states.


On our way up the fireroad. We chose not to take the ski lift up, so we could save a few bucks and get more hiking in.


Up up and more up




Ok, this is getting hard. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. Joe was doing just fine.







This is what we saw as were approaching the top.

We made it!



We could see the rain coming and here hear the thunder, but we never got rained on.






Heading down. We ran much of the way.

This is the biggest Lord's Candle Stick we have ever seen.
