Mt. San Antonio (Mt. Baldy) via the Ski Hut Trail

This trail was awesome in spring! I went up via the Devil's Backbone trail which was an awesome hike right through the ridge. At an elevation of about 8500', the clouds and the fog start rolling in, giving it an eerie but amazing feel. The incline right before you peak is quite steep and on loose rocks which can be a bit difficult but just take it slow. I would totally recommend doing this hike in spring. In addition, the parking off the road near Manker campground is free if there is no snow present (if there is snow, you need an adventure pass). The trail head is right off that road.
