Went for a hike up to the "Flag Peak" (6,620'). Its the peak midway up to Little Baldy from Providence Canyon that has a US flag on top. I had never been there before and decided to power hike it hard. Leg was feeling great on the uphill, and a bit touchy on the way down. 26:30 up (via the longer way) and 17:30 down the steep way. I had to go different ways to figure out the best path. The steep down route seemed to the be the most popular route and the other seemed like it was more like a deer trail. Who cares though.. T-44:00 (1500' vert) 2 miles
