Roaming around Mount Wilson

What a beautiful clear, but chilly, day! Echoing prior posts – the creeks and waterfalls were beautiful. The forests were green and chilly – but very little snow/ice left. The Summit was still a great reward – although very developed. The trail back down – completely washed out by the parking lot and we found it hard to find the “old toll road” – but once we looked at the map in the parking lot (duh) we realized we could walk down the paved road to the “road closed” gate on the left and hop on the old toll road there – that took us (of course) back to the Winter Creek trail head. The finish – we took upper winter creek to avoid the uphill burn at the end and made it back to the car just in time to sit in traffic for 2.5 hours back to San Diego!
