Our third annual hike for Big
Bad Wolves only! You know the story: Baldylocks heads out from
her Mt. Baldy Village home at the strike of dawn and hikes up
6000' in 6 miles to the top of Mt. Baldy (10,064') where, gazing
eastward, she spies Mama T, Papa T and Baby T, aka the Three
T's. "A T party!" she exclaims and 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 ju-u-u-u-st
