I have hikes all the peaks in this challenge and although I have some other ones I can't  wait to do (Bernardino/Gorgonio), this peak is my favorite because its a great prep hike and has a wonderful trail profile with spectacular views.  I have never seen so much water in ice house.  There is even water on the Ontario spur!  I am a wimp when it comes to snow and I did not need to spike up on the few crossings, just slow and careful. Bugs are starting up and the lower canyon had a ton of ladybugs all over the new vegetation :).  Started at 5:30 am and passed 9 people from the saddle to the peak which is a lot for a weekday – hiking season in on! It is always a 4 liter hike for me and coming out I was warm.  I love this peak! Started my tracker late.
