Hello.
First of all, I have to say, I just love this site and find most of my weekend hikes here.
I am currently training to climb Mount Whitney with an entry date of September 21.
I have spent the past three months building up muscle and endurance, after spending two years in cancer treatment and hiking most every weekend.
Now its time to start adding in altitude and my partner and I are going to tackle Mount Baldy this Saturday. What should we know? How much water should we bring? And its been rather warm this week so should we still dress in layers. I hiked Crater Lake last week in a tank top because I sweat a lot so I tend to not wear layers.
OH and I also need directions to the correct trail head.
I am excited and nervous at the same time.
