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

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!

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.

BlackmouthWinter Ascent  Sucess!
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.

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.

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.

Done several times, but not with a bike. Someday that will happen. One of my all-time favorites.

MtnAv8rMy Favorite  Sucess!

The Devils Backbone is my FAVORITE on Baldy. I have done this one so many times I cant even remember, but I know that I have never had a bad time on this route. Just a Fun way to spend a day.

I left my wife at the ski lodge and hiked up the backbone. Met some guys practicing their snow skills for Denali. They were heading there in June. I hope they were successful.

Date Climbed: Oct 28, 2006

Nice hike, pleasant conditions. Made the mistake of coming down a ski run on the way back - was hell on my knees, but very quick.

Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2006

I always end up walking down this route at night on my way back from West Baldy or Baldy. It's a nice relaxing walk down, just gotta be careful where it gets narrow.
