The same is true for other places in the general are, such as Charcoal Kilns or Wildrose Peak. Granted, these places will be warmer than Telescope Peak (or much of the hike up there). But even Charcoal Kilns (~7000ft) is not too bad in summer. One more thing. Contrary to what you see online and on road signs, Mahogany Flat Campground and Telescope Peak Trailhead are perfectly doable in an ordinary car. It’s definitely no worse than (or even as bad as) White Mountain Road. And it’s a whole lot shorter.
