Mount Baldy

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.
