Sulphur Mountain
We did this hike on May 30, 2015. Present company was Curtis, Chris, Sandy and I. This hike starts from the upper hot springs parking lot. Right from the start, it was a steep climb. Me being a bit hung over from the night before, I knew this was going to be a great hike……
Mount Baldy South Ridge

Cascade Mountain
