Starting year two of my participation in this challenge, and the first peak is…with Mount Wilson!

The most fun: We spotted the cutest bobcat on the trail!

We started at 6 am and were back in the parking lot at 3 pm. Only 7 hours of moving time and 2 hours of fun exploring the peak and taking pictures. Some kind trail runners helped us identify Poodle Dog Bush on the trail near the top. Thankful for friendly advice on the trails 🙂
