Cucamonga and Ontario Peaks

06/26/10  One more trip to the front side of Mt. Baldy, this time for the last two trails I have yet to explore in the Icehouse Canyon area. Dr. Rock joined me for a bit over 18 miles and almost 6000' of elevation gain, hitting two peaks at just under 9000' in one day. The trails were a little crowded for my taste, but otherwise another awesome day on the trails!
