| Success this time! Beautiful hike from Blue Ridge. Really enjoyed the part from Pine/Dawson saddle to summit. Tacked on Circle Mtn before this traverse hike. Note the Dawson Peak Trail junction (Fish Creek Trail on sign) and noted the trail was overgrown at the top too. No surprise there... | |

| MtnDoser | Menker Flats to Baldy to Dawson Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2011 | |
| I was originally wanting to go from Baldy to Dawson to Pine and back, but time and energy was low. Bagged Dawson then headed back up the steep ascent to Baldy's summit. | |

| Not very exciting, but if you're already on your way to Baldy from Pine, might as well bag it. | |

| mcphersonm80 | North Backbone (with Pine and Baldy) Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2011 | |
| Probably the least remarkable of the three peaks on this trail, but the relatively tame ascent from the Pine/Dawson saddle was very much appreciated by my feet/knees/legs. | |

| NavySeabee | Failed Attempt Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2011 | |
| Okay, I'll be the humble schmuck to say I didn't make it... What started as an ambitious 5-peak, 5,000' 16 mile loop fell short due to daylight and what was nearly endless thrashing. Started at Guffy, dropped to Camp Lupine, up Fish Creek Trail to Pine Mtn Ridge over to Wild View Peak via a slide-covered section of the trail and from there is where it got interesting. Picked up the use trail dropping down to the "Spring" due east of Wild View to pick up Dawson Peak Trail (I use that term losely). Trail was well-defined until I crossed the second spring (both drinkable) and that's when the fun started. What ensued was over 2 hours of thrashing through overgrown trail/slopes and navigational challenges just to climb 1400'. Brush thinned out at about 8100' on west slope of Pine Mtn so I climbed the ridge proper. Topped out at 9400' on Pine Mtn, traversed over nasty rock to trail and back to road due to time. Figured why tag any of the peaks since I need to go back and get Dawson. Moral to the story...Dawson Peak Trail is not much of a trail anymore. Still enjoyed the day though. | |

| Camped on the blue ridge the night before . . . got an early start with JQ. Hiked most of the way to Baldy with a nice dude we met along the way and his dog (mohawk). | |

| zolek7 | On the way to Baldy Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2010 | |
| Climbed it on the way to Baldy, but was happy that the trail does not go through the summit on the way back. | |

| cab | Wright-Pine-Dawson Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2009 | |
| Easy traverse from Pine Mountain. Probably my favorite part of the day with great views of the North side of Baldy. Nice relaxing walk after the climb up the north ridge of Pine Mt. Didn't see anybody all day. | |

| The "easier" of the three of Pine, Dawson, and Baldy when coming from Blue Ridge Road. Short, easy, traverse from the trail to the top. | |

| TripoliRick | Nice for viewing Baldy's snow chutes | |
| Been up numerous times in the past 38 years, usually in the winter from the Stockton Flat/Lytle Creek side. Often if climbing up the east Baldy/Dawson drainage and up a south facing route if it's too cold for something in the shade on Harwood or Baldy. Makes a good workout doing Baldy, Dawson, and Pine on the trail. Last time up was "easy" getting a ride on a Blackhawk for a Search and Rescue mission up Baldy and back. | |

| Beautiful hot day in SoCal. Got to break in my new Lowa Mountain Expert GTX mountaineering boots; love them. Lots of Corn Snow and ladybugs. Went with Ryan (TDR), see next entry. | |
