Great Day??

Peak	Mt Wilson
Group	WTC LB group #1
Trailhead	Mt Wilson trail via Sierra Madre

Started off the Hike great. The first couple of miles was not that bad or that steep and the weather was nice and cool. But as soon as mile 3 came around it got crazy steep and a little humid. By then it was already 10 am. Once you get to what looks to be a fire road on mile 5 it started to get more do able. Someone gave me a shock block and I felt soooo much better. At the peak of the mountain it was completely covered by fog, and a thin layer of snow. There was coffee and hot cocoa under a mezzanine and I have to say it was the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted! Possibly due to a 7 mil, 5k elevation trek up a mountain.

I see a lot of posts saying to bring plenty of water, and although I agree with them I think electrolytes and food are just as important. Take a bottle of Gatorade and shock blocks and you will be fine.
