Mt. Wilson

The road to chantry flats was out due to rain the previous week. But we were determined to summit Mount Wilson. Because we are prepared hikers we had a map and found the next closest trailhead to be Mount Wilson trail. We found the trail to be very well-kept. The hike to the peak although the same distance as the route from chantry flats added almost 1000 feet of elevation making it extremely strenuous. The view of the LA basin from above the clouds was well worth it. There was even free (for a donation) coffee and hot cocoa at the snack bar.
