1/ Bivy on top of Mt Baldy tonight. Came up from Wrightwood on the north backbone trail over Wright Mt, Pine Mt, and Dawson Peak before Baldy's north bowl. Afternoon/evening hike, was in the dark since Dawson Peak. Nice full moon lighting up all the snow though. It's been real nice, zero wind, clear, and only low of 45F tonight.

@jds I haven't been up there in over 20 years. Beautiful view but holy cow that's a lot of light pollution!

Looks beautiful! When I saw your bivy all laid out , it looked so cozy that it made me sleepy. ๐ -

@jasaz oh yeah in every direction. The phone does some automatic night mode enhancing that exaggerates it as well

2/ afternoon shots on the way over Pine mountain with Dawson peak to the left next in line and Baldy, the destination for the night behind. Great views, the sun set when I got up Dawson.

3/ sunset on Dawson Peak, the last summit on the route to Baldy. Took a break, layered up, and put my light on. Dropped down to the saddle in post sunset dusk, then up Baldy after dark with the moon. City lights up on Baldy.

@jds Ooh, smart, that route. I assume you avoided the death trap on Devil's Backbone?

@jds you can see Canis Major and Lepus in the third shot. Nice!

@ai6yr yeah, this route arrives directly at the summit from the north 'rib'. It has its own considerations though. There's multiple steep, north facing ridges that don't get much winter traffic.

@jds Aha, good to know. Glad to see you had a good hike and bivy, however!

4/ a handful of hikers arrived at the summit before sunrise. Nice warm colors. I hung out for a while then started heading back.
