| no partners | | Part two of CA weekend, decided to check out the Mount Baldy area. Was worried that it was overcast in the morning, but thought maybe the mountains would be above it all... Turns out the ceiling was around 3k-4k...
Got to Icehouse Canyon TH at 8am with the parking lot almost full, and started up the trail. It's a super highway with a lot of traffic. But it's well-built, and a nice constant grade up to Icehouse Saddle, which took about an hour and 10 minutes to reach. Saw there was still quite a bit of snow on the north facing slopes, so decided to head north up Three T's trail.
Made it up to Timber Mountain pretty quickly, which is honestly not really even worth the half mile round trip from the Three T's trail. Decided I needed to try for Telegraph for a real view.
The difficulty increased a bit, with some icy patches on the north face of Timber that required a bit of caution, and then a generally rougher trail heading up to the summit ridge. Only saw one hiker on the way there. The summit was excellent, with views down the canyon to the SW to a cloud-filled LA valley, and sweeping views to the east of Cajon Pass, the San Bernardino Mountains, and even the San Jacintos in the distance.
Fun trip, maybe come summer I might check out the peaks to the south (Ontario, Bighorn, Cucamonga, Etiwanda). |
