Hike was great. We started with East Baldy and went up to the saddle. As we approached there was a noticeable amount of snow for about 1-1.5 miles. This made it very challenging. IO would not try this unless you have poles and a gps to find the trail. Its the only way we didn't get lost. Not only was the snow an obstetrical but because the forest service had not cleared the trail there were many downed trees. The rest of the hike was beautiful and I would recommend this direction when taking the hike. I really enjoyed walking out next to the river on West baldy on the way out. Saw some cow elk, deer and one speed goat. lots of birds.
