I had a blast and I'm still sore from my Friday hike to Mount Wilson! The snow added to the difficulty but it was definitely manageable. I brought my crampons just in case but only briefly used them on my hike down where parts were a bit icy. The creek was bustling with water from all the snow melting and it was a gorgeous setting to hike next to. I would definitely bring extra socks if I were you, as I was glad to have had them when I misjudged the depth on one crossing. I would also plan for an extra hour or so of hike time due to the unique elements after all the rains.
