| zolek7 | Was little hazy  Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2009 | |
| Great hike, was little hazy! Could not see Mt. Whitney, as I was hoping for. Take plenty of water and leave some on the summit if you have extra. | |

| Nice group hike from Mahogany Flats. Maybe Shorty's Well someday, if I've got a hot poker being threatened to be stuck in my eye. | |

| "4x4" road? Hah! I got the Celica up that thing with no further damage. Fun summit register, with a few hardy souls who did it from Shorty's Wells. | |

| The perfect storm of good weather, good friends and an all around good day! Tagged with four first timers and it was FANTASTIC to see it through their eyes and have them be in such good spirits. Hopefully I flipped a switch in a couple of them. Super mega good day!! | |

| pgoertzen1 | Perfect weather Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2009 | |
| We did this as an overnight hike. Started at Thorndike campground 0.8 miles and 600 feet elev below the trailhead because we were told our 2WD sedan wouldn't make the drive to Mahogany Flat, although it would have done just fine. Camped at beautiful Arcane Meadows 2.5 miles up from the trailhead on a cloudy and completely windless night. Went to the summit and returned to Thorndike the next day. Temps were in the 50s and 60s and there is no snow left on the trail. Great hike! | ||

| This has to be one of the very best dayhikes in California. We camped on the shoulder a couple of miles from the summit. | |

| farrisgl | Our second ascent of Telescope, 1st as an overnight Date Climbed: Nov 4, 2006 | |
| With my wife this was our second ascent of Telescope, this time as an overnight and a great way to do this fantastic peak. Left North Orange County at 6 am, after arrived at Mahogany Flats trailhead about Noon, backpacked to the ridgeline about 2/3 of the way, setup camp, hiked to the summit, returned to camp for dinner. Up at about dawn, packed up and hiked out. | |

| bechtt | From the Charcoal Kilns Date Climbed: Jan 18, 2009 | |
| Road closed at the kilns adding a couple of miles each way. Nice snow climb at the end. Climbed Bennett on the return but bypassed Rodger due to partner fatigue. Pictures | |

| Wonderful day to climb Rogers, Bennet, and then Telescope. Windy (of course), probably 20 degree chill, but sunny. Very fun! | |

| mstender | Telescope from Mahogany Flats | |
| Did Telescope Peak a couple of years ago in September with my buddy Richard after camping a Mahogany Flats. It was beautiful sunny days, not too hot, with a cool breeze on top (had tp put my fleece on. I forgot to re-apply my sunscreen and burned my legs pretty badly (the skin peeled off in one piece a week later). We slept at Mahogany the night after the climb and had to bail early in the morning (still dark) when a really bad storm came in. Some dude we met on our way down the day before wanted to camp out on top to watch the stars. Hope he was okay in the storm. | |

| for a hike from Mahogany Flats......Easy summit....Views were great except for a little haze..Unable to see Mt. Whitney....Perfect time of year for a hike at altitude in Death Valley.......But it was HOT back down below sea level......Also, something in the air (pollen?) made my skin welt and eyes swell......Had to get some Benadryl at Stove Pipe Wells.......Great hike overall. | |

| After seeing Telescope from Badwater, I've wanted to do this peak for a decade or so. I finally took the easy stroll up to the top from Mahogany Flats this summer. Whew, hot! | |
