ABOUT our hike-
Team Modern Hiker will be going on a hike up Mt. Baldy, the highest peak in LA County topping off at just over 10,000 ft.,  on July 3.  This is a no nonsense kick your a** adventure through some of the most beautiful mountains of LA.  The first section gains 4000 ft. in 4 miles, at a starting altitude of ~6000 ft. 

A trail write-up of the adventure is here.  But note that we'll be doing it in reverse:

From my friend Casey, the organizer of the trek and one of my co-hikers up Whitney- "In case you were wondering how far your donated dollars will go, $30 will provide enough anti-retroviral medications to help a child combat AIDS for a month. $140 will provide enough antibiotics for ten children for a full year. $500 will give an HIV+ child ALL the medicine he or she needs for 16 months, and $5000 will feed a whopping 400 children for a month, giving them the strength to keep taking the medications they need to live a normal life."
