On a day when one man summited for the 1000th time, I finished my first. I was both impressed by his feat and also questioning how long it must have taken to complete such an endeavor. After using my sick mathematical skill set, I guessed 10 or more years. Congratulations to that man! After hiking Mt Baldy for the first time, I can see why he was summoned to keep coming back time after 1000th time. The Devil’s Backbone is glorious and rewards you with an intense leg busting final mile before reaching the windy summit. One note: I am extremely glad that our loop starting with Devil’s Backbone and ended with the Ski Hut Trail… I would prefer not to do it in reverse.
