    Tips

    August 10, 2023

    The Devils Backbone Trail is one of the most popular trails to summit Mount San Antonio (Mt. Baldy). Unlike the other most popular trail, the Baldy Bowl, or Ski Hut, Trail this trail is longer and more gradual making for a somewhat easier, but still very challenging experience. You also get amazing views off of the exposed ridge line as you hike up to the tallest point in Los Angeles County.
