Name: Hike the 3 T-s.....Summit Thunder, Telegraph and Timber Mountains near Baldy
Start: 2011-07-30T07:00:00-07:00
End: 2011-07-30T10:00:00-07:00
Location: Ed Davis Park in Towsley Canyon

July 30-Between Baldy Notch and Icehouse Saddle are 3 summits rising over 8000'-Thunder Mountain (8587'), Telegraph Peak (8985') and Timber Mountain (8303'). These mountains are known as the 3 T's. This well beaten trail zigzags over crests and across saddles, through open stands of pine, fir and cedar, offering continuous vistas. The high mountain air is cool, clear and clean. From Telegraph Peak the desert view rivals the one from Mt. Baldy.

This is an 8 1/2 mile trip with 1300' elevation gain but over 4,000' elevation loss. Because of the elevation loss this hike is classified strenuous. There will be a short car shuttle from Icehouse Canyon (Adventure Pass required) to the ski-lift. This trip covers a lot of high country but we will get a head start by taking the ski-lift to Baldy Notch at a cost of $10 each. On the way home let’s stop at Jamba Juice in Claremont for an energy boost before the drive home. Bring water, snacks, lunch, sunscreen, hat, good boots, hiking poles, and anything else that will make your day. If you need a Jamba Juice Swipe Card, ask Dianne…she has extras.

For those wishing to car pool meet at Towsley Canyon at 7:00 for a 7:15 departure or you can meet at the Mt. Baldy ski lift at 09:00.
