Crazy Raider fan running through Devil’s Backbone trail.

Peak Mt Baldy
Group Solo Mish
Trailhead Manker Flats

It was an awesome day for a hike. Started around 6:35a.m. from Manker Flats, weather must’ve been in the low 60’s if not less. Today was San Antonio Regional Hospital day!!!! They were out representing in their powder blue shirts (thumb up). I arrived to the top of the ski lift around 7:35. The views once you pass the ski lodge get better and better, as I started Devil’s backbone started running the trail on and off. Coming to the start of the last climb before the peak is an ass kicker for sure. Made it to the peak at around 9:05a.m. just as more people began to arrive. Ran the trail through Devil’s bb, I apologize if I startled anyone, but I get such an adrenaline running that portion back, and I was thirstin’ for a beer. Met a friendly couple from Washington D.C. who funny enough also had a cast on his right hand haha, Cheers guys. Ran the last portion down and made it in time for lunch 12:01 p.m. Not a bad day ……. up next San Bernardino Peak
