The upper portion of the telephone trail Has been restored. This is one of the more mellow sections of trail on the mountain. The majority of the top section is in a Pine Forest and survived the Telegraph Fire without major burns. This trail has a little bit of climbing in the first mile but then quickly turns downward all the way into Icehouse. Combine this trail with a start at the top of Ferndale then rip upper Sixer down to Telephone taking it the rest of the way to the CCC lot. This is a great route to enjoy this pines to chapparal experience that is Pinal.
