MT WILSON

We will be hiking to Mt Wilson from Chantry Flats via Gabrielino trail towards Sturtevant Camp.
ALL TRAILS LINK

We are starting early to beat the heat and the crowds on the weekends.

There is an option to turn around sooner if you like as long as you are familiar with the trail and know your way back to the parking lot. If this is your first time hiking with us then it will be helpful to download the AllTrails app. I do look out for my group and like to keep everyone together but if I feel you are too slow then I will ask that you turn back. This is just for safety reasons.

I am going to put everyone on a wait list. Priority goes to those I have hiked with in the past and know their abilities. However, if I have never hiked with you please message me with your hiking experience and level.

We will be hiking at a nice moderate pace.

I am a volunteer (i.e. not liable for the group). Safety is a priority for everyone in the group. Think of this as hiking with a group of friends.
