"What a fun day! We drove down from Vegas after work on Thursday, getting to the Manker Flats campground a little after 8pm. We set up camp and tried to get some sleep, but the campground was so noisy, we only got a few hours before our 2am wakeup. We were on the trail a little after 3am to beat the crowds. Following Icehouse Canyon up, we reached the saddle around sunrise and took a short break. We continued on to Timber Mountain, Smetana Hill, Rees Point, Telegraph Peak, Thunder Mountain, Gold Ridge and finally Baldy Notch. We thought about hiking the trail back down, but the allure of the gondola was too great. We enjoyed a nice ride down the gondola, but we still had to hike a few more miles down the road to get back to our vehicle at Icehouse Canyon Trailhead. A wonderful young fellow saved us our last mile or so by asking if we wanted a ride. (the road hike was not included in our GPS track). It was a tiring, but extremely rewarding day!" — Kevin • Jul 24, 2020

"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.

"Shot up the .9 miles from Icehouse Saddle to pick this up. Somehow I left it outstanding. Passed a couple European backpackers who were camping on a bench just below the summit." — JustinB • Jul 9, 2018

"Christmas Day summit of the three T's (Timber, Telegraph, and Thunder). The Baldy Notch restaurant was open and was able to get in 16 miles, three peaks, a hamburger and a beer." — laphil • Dec 25, 2017

"Started at Middle Fork Trailhead. Hiked up Middle Fork Trail. As I assended the canyon ran into two feet of snow on the southern side. Had to scramble up the north side and find the trail multiple times as it disappeared in the snow. Reached Icehouse saddle and then followed 3 T's trail to the summit of Timber Mountain. Total distance was 12.4 miles round trip back to trailhead." — Zardoz • Apr 5, 2017

"Blitzed up the Icehouse Canyon trail to Icehouse Saddle. Really felt good early on in this hike. Timber summit was not very interesting, so I headed off immediately for Telegraph." — edg • Aug 2, 2015

"In training for Mt Whitney in August-made it to the saddle in 1:28 and on to Timber-cold storm coming in on April 7th and the wind was cold and about 20-25 mph! stayed on the top long enough to sign the register-previous was the day before-and back down via Chapman" — Curt • Apr 6, 2015

"This was the first of the so-called "Three Tees" coming from Icehouse Saddle. We had spent the night at Kelly Camp in some pretty substantial wind. Little did we know what was coming later. The climb of Timber itself was tough but overall pleasant--an appropriate warm-up for a long day. " — jameslkennedy • May 11, 2014

"Took Icehouse Canyon to Icehouse Saddle and up Timber, returned via the Chapman Trail. Didn't start early enough to do the 3 T's. Nice hike. Watch out for rattlers around the logs/benches at the Icehouse Saddle. Ran into an ornery one." — Jbrewsters • Jun 11, 2012

"The first peak in our 3 T's long hike. My 4th time at the top, yet I am always pleased by the view and the nice shade this mountain has, to let you rest your legs and have a nice lunch. " — JuanAlvarenga • Jan 30, 2012
