Our fifth annual - for Big Bad Wolves only! You know the story:
Baldylocks heads out from her Mount Baldy Village home at the strike of dawn
and hikes up 6000' in 6 miles to the top of Mount Baldy (10,064') where, gazing
eastward, she spies Mama T, Papa T and Baby T, aka the Three Ts. "A T
party!" she exclaims, then scrambles over Devil's Backbone, past the
ski lift and up Thunder Mountain (8587'), Telegraph Peak (8985') and Timber Mountain
(8303') before descending Icehouse Canyon to Grandma's house and a
waiting car shuttle. "Only 20 miles and 8000' gain - this hike was
