This hike went to the summit of 2 peaks in the San Gabriel Mountains:
1) Thunder Mountain (elevation of 8,568 feet and prominence of 360 feet)
2) Telegraph Peak (elevation of 8,986 feet and prominence of 1,183 feet)

Telegraph Peak is the high point of the Cucamonga Wilderness Area.

I started and ended the hike at the Mount Baldy TH. I went on roads to the top of Thunder Mountain, then took the Three T's Trail to a spur trail that went up to Telegraph Peak. There were a few small patches of snow alongside the Three T's Trail on the way up to Telegraph Peak, but there was no snow on the trail itself.

This was a nice hike in a scenic area. There were great views of Mount Baldy along the way and at the summit, and the summit also had a good view of San Gorgonio.
