Jones Peak via Bailey Canyon
On a cloudy May gray day, I hiked up the trail from Bailey Canyon in Sierra Madre to Jones Peak, a low peak at the front of the San Gabriel Mountains.
Cucamonga Peak via Icehouse Canyon
Located in the San Bernardino National Forest not far from Mt. Baldy is Cucamonga Peak. Sitting at 8859 feet above sea level, with an elevation gain of over 4300 feet from the Icehouse Canyon trailhead, this hike is no joke. But the beauty of Icehouse Canyon and the Cucamonga Wilderness, along with a breathtaking view at the summit made all the hard work, effort, and sore knees totally worth it.
