Mt. Baldy is the highest point in Los Angeles country, with the elevation at the summit being 10,064 feet. Today I hiked up this mountain with a group. We took the "Ski Hut" Trail up Mt. Baldy and then returned down via the Devil's Backbone trail and the ski lifts. The whole trip was 11 miles and had an elevation gain of 4000 feet, becoming the hardest trail I've done yet. I definitely took advantage of the time and took over 450 photographs and some videos and have posted the best ones.
