Along the Pacific Crest Trail, heading to the saddle between Wright Mountain and Pine Mountain.

Pine Mountain comes into view.

Almost at the saddle between Wright and Pine. I took quick detour up Wright Mountain.

Wright Mountain doesn't have a view. This is near the summit, which isn't obvious to find.

Headed down to the saddle of Wright and Pine.

Starting the scree-filled ridge up Pine Mountain.

Looking up at Pine Mountain.

Crumbly section along the ridge.

Looking back along the way up to Pine Mountain, Wright Mountain on the right.

Entering a steep and forested section.


Just below the summit of Pine Mountain, looking west-ish.

Steep trail up Baldy.

Looking back toward Dawson Peak (right), and Pine Mountain (left).





Almost at the summit of Mt. Baldy.


I got here late enough in the day when there were no other people on the summit who came from the other routes, I guess.


On the way back, there was some crazy fog visible from near the summit of Dawson Peak.

Another shot of the crazy sunset from Pine Mountain on my way back.

Really beautiful view from near the trailhead, taken when I got back to my car.
