Looks like the weather is going to be shaky Monday through Wednesday. Shouldn’t be bad enough to abort, but not the sunny and bright you’d hope for this time of year.
Vivian: There’s very little snow on the trail below Vivian Creek (7000’). After that it was about 98% snow travel as of (4-10).
Baldy: The baldy bowl and the devils backbone are a must do. I did it on New Years Eve, before there was much of a snowpack and there was some rock fall. Maybe a half dozen rocks whizzed past us. It probably has a better snowpack now and it shouldn’t be as much of a problem. Don’t forget to bring $20 for a bite to eat and a ride down.
Adventure Pass: SoCal National Forests require an Adventure Pass to park. If you have an National Parks Annual pass that will work, just leave it on the dash. Adventure passes cost 5$ and are purchased from local businesses that usually don’t open until 10. The fine for the first violation is $5, after that I’m not sure?
