 The next morn I walked a bit N on the PCT, and caught the sunrise. |
 In a minute, the early glow lit up Pine and Baldy. |
 We drove to the trailhead, and immediately dropped off to a saddle. |
 |
 |
 The route to Pine was over a series of scree-covered steep ridges. |
 Mount Baden-Powell (9399') in back. |
 San Gorgonio (L) and San Jacinto (R) on skyline. |
 Baldy as viewed from Pine. |
 |
 Now we descend to the saddle with Dawson. |
 We had to fix the pen. |
 From Dawson, viewing Baldy. |
 |
 We drop 800' to the saddle between Dawson and Baldy. |
 Suddenly I'm on top of Baldy! View ~N, with Baden-Powell at L, and Pine at R, with Blue Ridge between. |
 I want over to West Baldy, thinking I would have a great view of the folks on top. Actually, the folks on the main summit (shown) looked like dots. |
 Baden-Powell at L. |
 I got back to the main summit just as Cory arrived. Jon and Malia were delayed a minute by medical issues. |
 View ~S over Baldy Bowl.
|
 Another view to San G and San J. |
 |
 I was standing on this rock, then turned around and saw people with cameras, waiting expectantly... so of course... |
 Cory naps. |
 OK, now we head back N to saddle with Dawson. |
 |
 |
 Then (ugh) we head back up Dawson. |
 ...then we head back up Pine... |
 View from side of Pine. |

 I have no idea who this woman (with big straw hat) might be. |
