Frankly, I had a nice day. My guided tour by Frank and Frank began at
approximately 8:30AM. As I was the only show of six participants, we had all
the advantages of a small group. The hike up Bear Canyon was lovely. The
maples were in full autumn color. We then turned on to the old Lookout Mtn
trail. The brush had been clipped recently, so our passage was easy. From the
Baldy/Lookout Mtn ridge we'd get fleeting views of Ontario, Timber and Baldy
when the clouds would open up for an instant, only to close up again. We
arrived on the summit of Lookout for lunch in a fog. After looking at the old
experiment site, we descended the trail to Cow Canyon saddle. On the way, we
met a couple who had intended to join us but hadn't gotten around to calling
Frank. From near Cow Canyon saddle we followed an old road bed back to Baldy
Village. This loop was new to me. I enjoyed my guided tour.
