Started just before 7am and already plenty of people on the trails. We hiked up Old Baldy Trail first to Josephine Saddle and took short break. Then continued up the same trail to Baldy Saddle and finally the summit. Shared the summit with a few other but had a nice break.

After the break we headed down but took the Super Trail off the top. Made good time around the backside on the nice grades of Super Trail. However, as we approached the Josephine Saddle the thunder clouds started to crank up. The original plan was to continue on Super Trail to the bottom but with the growing storm we decided to cut it short and go down Old Baldy.

We did get rained on but fortunately not a downpour and we were well off the highpoints when the lightning was going. Made it back to the parking lot about 3pm.
