Hello Fellow Hikers,
Okay let’s face it, hiking on foot there is no easy way to get to the top of Mount Wilson. This is actually one of my favorite ways, and it’s also the original route to the top. A lot of history on this trail. Will encounter shaded areas loaded with green vegetation a lot of incline (a lot) with open views with the towers at the top coming within view. Once at the top we are gonna make our way to the peak and if the cafe is open will stop for food. Expect a long day with closer to 16 miles and elevation gain closer to 5,000. This is one of the 6 pack of peaks. Not recommended for beginners. Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 7:00) I have attached the AllTrails link for directions, pics, and stats…https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/mt-wilson-via-little-santa-anita-canyon
