Big Baldy TR March 8, 2008

On Saturday, March 08, 2008 I decided to do a snowshoe hike to the top of Big Baldy. Big Baldy is the minor peak just southwest of Timp. The elevation is 8756, quite a bit lower than the summit of Timp, but I thought it would be an easier hike than trying something like Timp in the winter. I had rented some MSR Denali Ascent snowshoes from REI. I am looking for some new snowshoes and I wanted to try them out before I dropped $200 on them.

I got to the Dry Creek trailhead about 7:30 am. I started to get my stuff ready and another car pulled. Out jumped 3 super-mountaineering type guys jump out. I thought,

That is awesome. I have been trying to get my brother in laws to shoe up with me and ski down. I have been worried that we will get up there and there will be too much brush and not enough snow for the south face. Great TR Thanks!

Great pictures. One of the best snow years in a while, and I am missing out.
