Started at Mt Wilson Trail and did the upward slug all the way to the summit. I was feeling pretty bonked on the climb up unfortunately but once we reached the summit/Cosmic Cafe and I ate a hot dog and drank a soda my body kicked into a 2nd wind and we were off for an exciting side adventure.

We took the Wilson toll road and instead of jumping back on the trail we continued down the toll road until we reached a junction that will take you steeply down the ridgeline. We followed the ridgeline passing the Ruby Olivia Wilson bench and then onward down further to Jones Peak. We continued down the very steep Bastard Ridge which eventually dumped us back onto the Mt. Wilson Trail. Kind of neat bagging Jones Peak as a Decent!
