Tyler Peak and Mt Baldy Loop

This is an excellent early season loop hike with plenty of elevation. This was a Peninsula Wilderness Club hike. I have posted about this trip before so I will be short with the description. If you haven't done this one yet, what are you waiting for?

      Hi Teresa. Nice catch. It was actually July 10th 2016. I’m a little behind in posting some stuff. Hopefully I’ll be adding a lot more trips I’ve done over the last year or so very soon.
