-Split Mountain Attempt-

Elevation: 14,058 ft.

Date Hiked: 4-26-2010

Trip Report:
Although Split mountain is not in southern California I still am including this trip report. One of my goals has been to hike every 14er in the lower 48. I will include these trips in this site as they are completed regardless of the state they are in. All of my other trip reports will be from mountains in southern California. It is interesting that a short 3 and a half hour drive from San Diego can take you to world class mountaineering in the Sierra.

Trip Report:
Two weeks ago I hiked up Mt. Baldy. I really enjoyed this hike and wanted to do it again while there was still snow. I left Friday after work and made my way to the trailhead. As soon as I got to the trailhead I fell asleep. I slept well and got up around 6:30, I was hiking by 7.
