| Did Telescope the previous day so we were a little tired, but still managed to get up and down in 3 hours. Great hike and great weather this time of year. | |

| SoCalHiker | Nice peak Date Climbed: Nov 23, 2008 | |
| Hiked from the end of the paved part of Wildrose Canyon road to the kilns (added another 4.5 miles in and out) and up to the peak. Great views from the top. Very few patches of snow on the saddle before the final ascent. Cold winds on top. | |

| TripoliRick | Snow blocking the road Date Climbed: Feb 7, 1974 | |
| When snow blocked the way past the kilns, I decided to hike up Wildrose as an alternative. Took the better part of the day. Almost got stuck when I went to Skido when I couldn't get traction on the ice covered steep road out. I spent an hour or more throwing rocks and gravel on the ice surface, then easily drove up and out (a lesson I've used many times since). | |

| slogger | Route: Wildrose Peak Trail Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2005 | |
| A quick buzz up the trail to the top, with wonderful views when I gained the ridge. Good weather that day, with no snow on Wildrose, although Telescope was blanketed. A good warm-up in Death Valley. | ||

| Well maintained, not too long (4.2 miles up), so lots of people. Beautiful views of the Sierra and Death Valley. | |

| Not a bad alternative to Telescope. Fun hike, good temps. It was cold in the morning though. I wouldn't do this one in the summer. It is hot enough at the top campground. | |
