| Very fun snowshoeing. It's a very photogenic route in the wintertime, too bad I didn't bring a camera... | ||

| A couple inches fresh snow on the ground, swirling clouds and high winds on the ridge... a great day to be out. | |

| Stunning views of Mount Harwood's East Face and other surrounding peaks, nice exposure along the ridge, and a very fun trail. We started soon after midnight and had a big bright moon over our shoulders for most of the trip and made it to the summit just in time to catch the sun rise above the massive sea of clouds below us. Took the San Antonio Ski Hut/Baldy Bowl Route back down. | |

| We used this route as a training hike for our Mt. Whitney climb, mainly for the roundtrip distance. | |

| I like to do the bowl but sometimes will come down this route to save my knees. Then I think it's about the same. | ||

| tarol | Great trail Date Climbed: Oct 24, 2009 | |
| Loved this trail, steep and rocky in spots but it has to be, wonderful views, and fabulous wind-stunted trees along the way. | |

| Good hike to the summit however I prefer routes to the summit past the ski hut, or if modivated from Baldy Village. | |

| I could go for hiking this trail, but instead I ran it in the "Baldy Run to the Top". Amazing views! | |

| Interesting warm, windy, cold, sunny, dusty hike with my daughter who has found that she really does enjoy hiking more than 2 miles! Her first 10K summit was a thrill for me as well. Actually saw 3 other humans and NO the lifts weren't running. :P | |

| MtnLdr | Ouch!!! Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2008 | |
| I actually went up the ski hut/bowl trail, and came down the backbone. I just hate out and back type hikes. Anyway, this trail is amazing! I have to try this hike again in reverse. I can't wait for winter to get here now. I can only imagine how beautiful this ridgeline would look with snow! | |

| SoCalHiker | Very nice! Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2008 | |
| Hiked up directly under the ski lifts to Baldy Notch and then the Devil's Backbone. Not too many people on the summit; about 15-20 at 10am. | |

| Blackmouth | Winter Ascent Date Climbed: Feb 6, 2008 | |
| Took the Devils Backbone to Harwood to Baldy to West Baldy and back. It was one of the nicest days I've had on Baldy and I had it all to myself. | |

| InsertHere | Nice day, very windy Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2006 | |
| Baldy Notch/Devil's Backbone to summit, descended Baldy Bowl. Great route, didn't ride the lift up. Very windy summit push at the end, lots of people turned back which was unfortunate - the summit was pretty calm and enjoyable. | |

| kaine7 | Push for the Top Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2007 | |
| Beautiful weekday ascent, no one else on the summit. Can someone set up a climber's log in a jar there? Came down a ski run on the way down to save time. Highly recommend this hike for its views, but be ready for some steep ascents. | |
