Shaded creek-side trail up to Icehouse Saddle — gateway to four major Mt Baldy-area peaks.

Icehouse Canyon is one of the most beloved trails in Southern California — a shaded climb past historic cabins along Icehouse Creek to Icehouse Saddle, where trails branch to Cucamonga, Bighorn, Ontario, and Telegraph peaks.

🌟 Why Locals Love It

Cool, shaded, and creek-flanked — a rare IE-adjacent forest trail.

What to Expect

Old cabins, big pines, creek crossings, switchbacks to the saddle.

💡 Good to Know Before You Go

Adventure Pass required. Snow/ice in winter — micro-spikes recommended.

📍 Local Tip

Turn around at Columbine Spring for a perfect shorter day hike.

Best Time to Visit

April–November.
