"Arrived at Mahogany Flat in Death Valley in the afternoon. Looming overhead is Rogers Peak. Instead of letting the day go by without a peak climb, I headed up the service road to the top. The hike looks a lot shorter when relaxing in the campground, but it is a worthy effort. Typically, this is included when doing the Telescope Peak hike, but at least I knocked it off and won’t need to include it later." — MikeTeeples • Jul 27, 2022

"My annual birthday "Suffer-Fest" this year was to do Telescope Peak in Death Valley and of course add 2 other nearby peaks, Roger's and Bennett. Warm day but their was a lot of wind so ot wasn't too bad until the hike down the fire road from Roger's Peak. " — acekelly • Jun 26, 2022

"Summited these peaks in a vation in Death Valley. When my non-hiker friends were still sleeping at 8:00 AM, I cooked a small breakfast consisting of stuff I found inside Trona. Stashed my flying broomstick under my tent. Then started out on the hike. Passed through a nice pine forest w/ lots of big trees. Visited Arcane Meadows after a long slog around Rogers Peak (summited later). Then tried to summit Benett and failed. Then went for a long while on this trail w/ bristlecone pines, beautiful views, greener meadows, and more. Then after 14 switchbacks finally summited. Beautiful views from the summit made me forget everything! Decended to the faint trail to Rogers then aseneded it. Rogers summit had some eqipment blocking the summit views. Then looped down on the fire road back to TH. By then at 5 PM my non-hiker friends were yelling at me WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!

"Telescope Peak, Bennett Peak and Rogers Peak from Mahogany Flats Campground. Started up the trail right out of our tents and were treated to a beautiful sunrise. Easy bushwhacking over Rogers and Bennett Peaks. The bristlecone pines on Telescope Peak are phenomenal. " — wacbravo • Nov 18, 2021

"7.15.2020...Telescope (11,331’), Bennett & Rogers Peaks, solo. Telescope is the Highest peak in the Panamint Range, CA and in Death Valley and a lot of other amazing Mtn stats. 13 miles, 4,200’ gain, 5:37hrs including :25 min on top and stopping to take pics since it was my 1st time. I was shocked My Kia Soul made it to Mahogany Flats Campground. Telescope peak is a giver. The route is a mellow, wildflowers lined trail along the crest of an expansive ridge with views 100 miles in all direction. You can see the Sierras, Spring Mtns. and all of Death Valley. It had a pretty meadow section too (Arcane Meadows). I was surprised to see lizards and cactus at such high elevation. I didn’t get started til 12:40pm and it was 92 deg at the trailhead (8,100’). The heat was oppressive, especially on my way back when I tagged the 2 bonus peaks. The 2.5 liters had was barely enough and I had to ration towards the end. I was attacked often by big chunky black bees when scampering through the Lupines and wildflowers. Not sure why they were so aggressive. Actually, the theme of my trip was animal attacks. An unknown animal took off with one of my Luna Sandals in the middle of the night ($100 sandl..." — paula.raimondi • Jul 15, 2020

"Left Vegas at 4am & headed to Mahogany Flats. Flew down the trail & stopped at Bennett Peak before reaching Telescope, our main goal of the day. On our way back, a few of us stopped at Rogers Peak, then took a pretty straight-forward cross-country route back to the vehicles. The trail would have been a better idea, but it would have taken longer & we wanted to see something new. After all that, we drove back to Furnace Creek for some Choco Tacos & a beer, then the long drive back to Vegas. Great daytrip!!!" — Kevin • May 19, 2012

"We camped in Mahoganey Flats and hiked in the snow towards Roger's peak that we approached but we could not quite summit, the snow was still abundant. I am not actually sure of the date, I need to find out the date and confirm the summit " — daviddiedejean • Apr 17, 2010
