Day Hike - Mount Baldy
The views from this ridge/summit are rumored to be beautiful. I've only done it in the fog, so let's hope for a clear day. We could have the trail to ourselves on a weekday.

We will meet at the North Bend Safeway at 7:30 to consolidate cars. We will regroup at the gas station in Easton, for restrooms, and caravan to the trailhead.
There is a steep section on this hike. Please read the hike description. Pace will be a comfortable, yet steady, one, and we will make sure we have time to appreciate the views from the ridge.
