Great start to the New Year

Peak Mt Wilson
Group N/A
Trailhead Chantry Flats - Upper Creek

It was the perfect day for a hike, sun shining, air crisp and just a little but of snow on the peak. I started up upper creek and looped back down towards Sturtevant Falls. I passed quite a few hikers going the opposite direction so I probably took the harder way but I only struggled a little… well a little most of the way but I love every minute of it!

I ran into a couple hikers who helped direct me towards the trail from the fire road about a mile or two from the top. Thank you fellow hikers, if not for you I would’ve continued on the fire road since the trail was somewhat hidden on the other side. A downside of hiking without a group is greater potential of getting lost I suppose, although sometimes it may be on purpose ?  I didn’t find the marker at the top, it must’ve been buried under some snow but I got this amazing view above the clouds and that’s enough for me. Five more peaks to go!!
