Last Friday friends of mine (The Marshalls) and I hiked Mt. Baldy in preparation for a trip of Mt. Shasta in two weeks. It was awesome! The beginning of the hike up to the Sierra Club Ski Hut wasn't so bad. There was a little snow. However, right as we arrived at the ski hut a ton of fog and mist set in. It was crazy. It reminded me of some type of movie. Anyway, we rested there and then had a TON of snow to hike through in order to get to the top of the peak. We had hiking poles which made our lives a lot easier. Eventually, we made it above all the clouds blew in. It was awesome. I felt like I could jump out into a bed of fluffy white clouds. Getting to the summit was quite a trek. Thanks to the snow, we lost the trail a few times. It wasn't a big deal though. You just keep hiking higher! It was beautiful at the top! There was hardly any wind. I don't think I've ever been on a peak that calm. It was really strange, and especially for Baldy. You can check out PICTURES.
