Highpoint: 5070 feet
A rainy Sunday in September I decided to do some ridge hiking out of Eagle River (from Mt. Baldy trailhead). I was lucky with the weather as the rain held off for the entire 5 hours I was out. I made it to Vista Peak and may have continued to Peak 5331 if the weather had looked more promising. Peak 5331 will have to wait for another day. The ridges in this area are phenomenal for hiking and running. To top it off, the blueberries were ripe and the fall colors were awesome.
