This report is a bit delayed but here it is! (Same report at Ontario Peak, as backpacking back to back peaks!)
Backpacked up Icehouse Canyon to the Saddle. Lots of bugs and warm. Veered right towards Cucamonga Peak and Kelly Camp. Set up camp w plenty of water to use for the night.
Summited Ontario Peak w a small pack.
Lots of bugs at camp. My friend and I were the only campers until the evening then a couple showed up. Deer at night rummaged through our camp…haha.
The next morning, packed up camp and hiked back down to the Saddle. On the way I fell off the trail while trying to navigate around a snow patch on the trail. Thankfully there was a tree that stopped my descent down the mountain! Got a bit bruised and cut up, but overall fine ( Thank God!)!!
Left our big packs at the Saddle, summited Cucamonga w small packs again then made our descent back to the Saddle and down to the trailhead. Lots of sun & bugs!
