  • Grab your hiking boots and join me on an exhilarating adventure up the majestic Mt. Baldy in Southern California. This iconic peak, rising 10,064 feet above sea level, offers awe-inspiring vistas and a trail that will push your limits in the best possible way. As we ascend the rugged path, surrounded by towering pines and panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness, the air becomes crisp and invigorating. This is one of the best training hikes you can do in Southern California and one I often use for bigger hikes like Mt Whitney. Let me know what you think in the comments.

    We did a training hike in northern California to Kaiser Peak which i was told is right around 10,000 feet. In our training for Mt Whitney. We mostly wanted to see if anyone had high altitude sickness. The way we went up really had nowhere to get more water bit we had some at the top and the next day on the way back

    I really love seeing all the view way up in Mt Baldy people can see Mt San Gorgonio, Mt San Jacinto The Whole Inland Valley area and from the far right I bet hikers can see Downtown Los Angeles far the distance on Mount Baldy but I’m so glad and proud your back making new videos on California Through my Lens man bay the way!

    Big respect to West Valley SAR team and others who help find lost hikers every single year.
    Don’t put yourself at risk, and the others that may need to come get you.
    Let’s never forget SAR volunteer Timothy Staples, who lost his life in 2019 looking for a lost hiker.

    Welcome back :) Tried to do this twice, and something always happened and couldn't. Hoping third time's a charm in the next month or so. This looks amazing. Incredible summit.

    Congratulations boys. I love your channel Josh. Been a subscriber for many years.
    Before you guys attempt Whitney, you might want to have your friend in the blue shirt watch some videos on how to use Trekking Poles correctly. It’s not the popular method to swing both poles in unison. Using each one individually with each stride of one leg at a time gives you 3 point contact most of the time and not just two point contact with each stride.
    Best of luck on Whitney. My son and I hiked Whitney 45 years ago when he was in the Boy Scouts. Cheers.

Thanks 🙏🏼

    Good hike. I love living in central valley. Western Sierra Mtns are so close by and so many 10k-13k peaks you can tackle any peak at any given time.

    The trails from Manker Flats (Ski Hut, Devils Backbone) are good training hikes but the long trail from Baldy Village always seemed more rewarding to me. Another real good training hike would be San Gorgonio from Forest Falls. Nicely done video, thanks for the winter warning, to many people take Baldy lightly in the winter time.

    Wow great job on this hike. I went to the top of Mt. Baldy via Devil's Backbone. You are so right the hike you did with the crew was much more intense than Devil's Backbone.

    I'm not saying don't descend that way.... But if you descend via the Devil's Backbone, you can get a beer at the top of the ski lift 😅

    You didn’t show the “Notch “ bar and dance hall at the top of the ski lift! I was hoping to see it,my clan and I would go there when I was younger! I don’t know if it’s still there?

    If you want it really steep, take the direct trail towards Mt Harwood, bypassing the Ski Hut😉

    did you get new microphones or a new camera? voice changed a bit. the voice sounds like a gopro in a dive case with the volume turned up. one of your cameras sounds good but definitely different from 2 months ago.

    Baldy has the most vertical of all Mountains in all So Cal ski areas. Glad
    U weren’t with ur Lollipop friend from Wizard of Oz who talks and looks like a full time grump. Try Mt. Gorgonio on the East side.

    You probably shouldn’t tell people your plans. And share it once you accomplish it.
