Hit the trail at sunrise, parked across the street with an Adventure Pass to avoid the extra, dumb fee for the primary lot. Great views of Mount Baldy's backside, Mojave Desert, the south end of the Sierras, and what I presume is Telescope Peak way out in the distance. Views into the Inland Empire were shrouded by a fog/haze inversion - a bittersweet, yet cool effect.

The return trip is a smooth cruise thanks to the switchbacks. It's a great trail. Route Scout was all over the place - my route looked like it was traced by someone going through withdrawal.

Admittedly, I never use it on airplane mode so that's my fault. I cleaned it up a bit and the mileage is still 1mi+ longer than the advertised 8mi.
