Mt Baldy Part 10 - Continuing the descent down the Devil's Backbone

This set of photos shows not only the beauty of the terrain but also how narrow and precipitous the trail is...


Looking back towards a ridge we just came over.


Yes... That is steeper than it looks.... basically 1 step to the left and you are in for a rapid 700' descent to the bottom of this gully.



Video of this section of trail...

You can really see here how the trail clings to the hillside.


And yes.... there are idiots in every environment.

Not only is this guy stupid for bringing a bike up here but also really inconsiderate as there is scarcely room for people to pass on the trail by turning sideways.

This Yahoo threatens the safety of all those he passes by.


Good view of the knife edge trail.
