Three T's from the Notch
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2013 2:49 pm
We hiked Thunder, Telegraph, and Timber from the Notch yesterday. Skipping the fire road, we got lift tickets. Two round trip tickets are now $50. Ouch! I may have to start reading those Mt. Baldy emails for discounts. For all the times that we have been to or past Telegraph, we have never taken the 3 minute stroll to the west summit. It offers a nice view all around Icehouse Canyon. Here is an 11 image pano.
On the way back from Timber, there were intermittent sprinkles of rain. By the time we crested Telegraph, it was a steady light rain. We didn't mind the rain as long as some was falling on Mt. San Jacinto. Clouds rolled in over the Ontario ridgeline.
I thought that smoke from the fire would be visible, but the monsoon clouds were too thick. Gorgonio and Jacinto are out there somewhere.
