Bluebird day at Mt. Baldy

A bright, sunny day after the first snowfall of the winter on Mt. Baldy (aka Mt. San Antonio), the highest peak in Los Angeles county. At 10,068 feet (3,069 m), and just a few miles from sea level, this crowning jewel of the San Gabriel Mountains is a remarkable sight. Here, at over 7,000 feet of elevation, the slopes are covered in White Fir and Ponderosa Pine trees -- seemingly a world away from one of the world's great cities, really just minutes below (and barely visible at the bottom right).
