took a day off to hike this before the heat arrived. Left the trial head at 6:00am and it was cool in the canyon until about 7:30. Above Kelly Camp it got hot and hotter. The lupine above Kelly Camp are spent but this would be a beautiful late spring hike through the lupine fields. Right now the bees are frustrated by no flowers, buzzy, and annoyed. This was my first trip through Ice House Canyon and I fell head over heels in love with the place. I will be back but likely not on weekends with crowds. I saw 1 person from Ice House Saddle to the peak and several more on the way down. I was stunned at the number of people hiking up to the Saddle in the afternoon heat – be careful out there, it is getting hot and dogs do not need to be hiking in the afternoon heat.
