May 30, 2020. Parked across from the Baldy Trout Ponds and hiked up the Bear Canyon Trail to Mount Baldy, then took Devils Backbone Trail over to the Three T’s Trail. Summit all three T’s and came down Ice House Canyon. Hiked back down the road to my car. Very windy, over 50 mph winds on the exposed parts of the trails, even though the mountain weather forecast was only 20 mph. 21.8 miles and 8,035 feet of elevation gain. 10 hours and 51 minutes on the trail.
