| Trailhead | Mount Wilson Trail Park |
We decided to take Mount Wilson Trail Park trailhead because we were told there was less traffic. Now we know why! lol It was intense! Took us about 8 hours to complete. From the beginning of the trail it was all incline, we had a late start (8am) the first couple of miles, no shade!! 🙁 It got better once we were walking among trees but the incline got worse! lol. Once we reached the top we were too tired to take all in but nonetheless it was beautiful! Nice breeze and perfect weather! We wondered why we were so tired and realized we made some mistakes:
1. Late start
2. We started at a fast pace. We did not take enough brakes, by the time we were at halfway point we were very tired.
3. We did not pay attention to the trail we were suppose to take up in the bench area..took a fire road (no shade) which added about 2 miles to the hike
4. Should of brought bug repellent! Mosquitoes everywhere!!
Overall, it was a good tester for all of us , we realized that we are stronger than we think we are!
1 completed 5 more to go!! 🙂
Looks like you had a fun crew, in spite of the heat, vertical gain (that route climbs an “extra” 1000 feet!) and getting slightly off track.
Great job guys!! I almost took the fire road. Regardless I was still wiped by the end! Can’t wait to reunite for Cucamonga!
