Living the Dream Map

This is a great wide open run for those who want to hike to Badly's peak without descending down the Baldy Chutes at Alta. Living the Dream, albeit an easier way down, is sill very steep, rocky and a fall has the potential to be very consequential. Along with it's Southern Exposure, this should really only be done on a good day!
