Timber Mountain

"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

"Tried to do Ontario Peak, but that was way too far and icy, and we'd never make it with the amount of daylight left. Timber Mountain was a much shorter hike, but still a lot of fun." — rdm24 • Dec 28, 2011

"Hit ice early in Icehouse canyon but the sunlight made it possible to get to the saddle, although it was slow, slushy moving. The last mile was tough from the saddle since the snow was much less packed since most people turn back at this point. Great views of Baldy and Telegraph, and all the way out to Twin Peaks and Waterman." — Christopher • Nov 25, 2011

"A steep climb, to a desolated winter peak. From the top, you get a great view of the Higher San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California. Be beware, during winter, this can be a dangerous ascend. " — JuanAlvarenga • Mar 10, 2011

"Was planning on heading to Cucamonga Peak-Hit Ice & snow early on the trail-at the saddle-people were turning around-several of us decided to go on to Timber mountain-this is were I turned around-am looking forward to the "3-t's" - I found out later that the mountain used to be called "Chapman" and was later changed to Timber-Awsome hike!" — Curt • Feb 13, 2011

"I took a friend on practically his 1st hike ever up the 3 T's and kicked his ass haha! It was a lot of fun though. Timber Mountain being the 1st from Korean Canyon I Mean Ice House Canyon we bagged that first. I was bummed out about the lack of a good view from the summit but stoked to grab my 10th Peak! Its on to Telegraph Peak from here. The only copies of the Pics I have are too small to upload here :(" — 1-with-Nature • Aug 6, 2010
