Misty Mt. Wilson on an overnight backpacking trip
Decided to tackle this as an overnight backpacking trip. Started Tuesday afternoon at Chantry Flat and camped overnight at Spruce Grove Campground on Sturtevant trail/Gabrielino trail. To my surprise, the light drizzle through the canyon turned into consistent rain until about 4am. I then hiked up to Mt. Wilson and back down Wednesday. That elevation gain was brutal. Saw a large brown black bear laying right off trail at around 4500 feet and we stared at each other for a few seconds before it got up and moved away. Another hiker told me they saw a bobcat on trail. Really cool to see so much wildlife around.
