​​Conquering LA’s Toughest Hike | San Antonio Ski Hut 🏔️💪​​

Today’s ​​Mount Baldy​​ adventure via the ​​San Antonio Ski Hut Trail​​ was hands-down the most challenging hike I’ve tackled with my hiking group! ​​🥾 Brutal But Rewarding:​​ ​​5.5 miles RT​​ with 2,100 ft elevation gain—relentless rocky scrambles + zero shade ☀️. ​​Leg cramps galore​​ (both uphill and down 😅), but somehow didn’t end up as the group’s caboose! ​​🏡 Historic Ski Hut:​​ Built in the ​​1930s by Sierra Club​​, this 2,530m-high refuge is the oldest still-operating alpine hut in SoCal. A must-stop for climbers/skiers attacking Mt. Baldy’s summit. ​​⏱️ Stats:​​ ​​Time:​​ 4 hours (with sweat breaks) ​​Peak views:​​ Unreal 360° panoramas of the San Gabriels 🌄 ​​⚠️ Pro Tips:​​ ​​Start EARLY​​ (heat + exposure = murder post-10AM). ​​Trekking poles​​ = knee saviors on the descent. ​​Hydrate like crazy​​ (I drained 3L!). 📍 ​​San Antonio Ski Hut Trailhead​​ Parking off Mt. Baldy Rd #LAHikes #MountBaldy #SierraClub #HardcoreHiking #SoCalAdventures #TrailPainTrailGain
