Jill and I opted for Mt Wrightson today since it seemed like a decent escape from the heat. We got to Madera Canyon around 0715 and headed up Super Trail. Easy hike in the shade up to Josephine Saddle. Very windy from the trailhead to the saddle.

From there, we headed up Old Baldy trail. Last years trail work still looks nice. The wind was howling the final mile from the saddle to the summit. Also, some very recent work trimming back the vegetation. Nice break at the summit, shielded from the wind.

Easy descent down Old Baldy trail all the way back to the trailhead. About a mile and a half from the finish, a large tree snapped behind us, just a few seconds after we had passed it. We jumped a mile as it crashed to the ground, now partially blocking the trail. Took a few pics of that before continuing on our way. The final mile was pretty warm.
