So, I've attempted this hike a few times before, but never made it to the top. Reasons ranging from starting too late to getting too cold to hiking alone... OH MY GAHHHH, why did I ever wait??? It's 4 miles up at a pretty steep grade (2800' elevation gain). At the top we were exactly 9,399 feet in the air!! Thin air up there, but soooo gorgeous :). Well worth the sweat and aching legs!
Baden Powell was named after the Boy Scout Founder back in the day and at the top is a sort of monument/compass with boy scout writings all around it - very cool. You need the trusty adventure pass to park here, up the 138 to Hwy 2 past Wrightwood.
