After Cucamonga Peak, I decided to get Ontario and Bighorn as well. There was more snow than I anticipated on the trail to Kelly Camp, but didn't need to put on my spikes (unlike the trail up to Cucamonga, which had enough ice to warrant spikes). More little patches of snow/ice past the saddle on the Bigorn -> Ontario ridge, but got through just with watching where I placed my feet and didn't need spikes. Went to Ontario first, enjoyed the view, and then headed to Bighorn. Trail is a bit tough to keep track of right now with the patches of snow, and the fact it is just not used as much as the other trails. As per usual, I used the downhill sections as a jog/super power walk, all the way back to the car. || 18.6 mi, 6152ft gain.
