Holy crap that was gnarly

Peak Mt Wilson
Group My Husband Frank - we call ourselves "The Hiking Vikings"
Trailhead Chantry Flats

Don’t know how we managed to do it but by the time we were finished our loop we hiked 14 miles. It took 5 hours up and 4 hours down. The trial is steep – we were sucking wind pretty much the whole way up but it was so beautiful! We were under the canopy of the forest for most of the way and the temperature was just perfect. The trail is well maintained and the signage was good. I have done a lot of the biggies in California including Half Dome and Whitney and this is a respectable hike! We both felt very proud at the end and we drove straight to the Hat in Pasadena and ate our Pastrami Dips and drank our Dr. Pepper without any shame. We earned those bad boys!
