Get ready to climb to new heights in the Angeles National forest with professor of All Things Outdoors, Ian Culbertson. This challenging day hike is just under 8 miles long, with beautiful views of the Cucamonga Wilderness and Mt. Baldy!
*NOTE: This trail is called Icehouse for a reason. In the case that the snowpack is too dense, we’ll be doing a less snowy and equally epic hike.

RATE MY PROFESSOR: “Ian is AWESOME. Super chill and funny dude, yet very informative and interesting.”
Coach Culbertson has spent time all over coastal California, eventually finding his way to the USC physical education department! He is an expert surfer and avid hiker and backpacker. If it’s outside, he’s probably done it! Expect to hear everything from learning about long shore drift to stories of some of the gnarliest waves in SoCal!
PEAK: ICEHOUSE CANYON
DIFFICULTY: 4/5
This is a nearly 8 mile trek with 2,700 feet elevation gain. Bring plenty of water and leave with a sense of accomplishment!
SCENERY: This trail follows a steady stream that leads to sweeping views of the western San Gabriel mountain range. And true to its name there just may be….snow???!
FUN FACT: The Icehouse Saddle (our destination) is a point of departure for several peaks such as Cucamonga, Ontario and the “Three T’s!”
