They say the “getting there” is half the battle. This holds true for Mt. Wilson. It took multiple attempts to actually hike and finish it. The first couple times my friend and I could not even find parking. The time we actually went hiking, we ended up getting lost. Or so we thought because we were ill-equipped! Finally, after doing some research and asking around, someone suggested I follow the turn-by-turn directions from TheHikingGuy.com and it made a whole lot of difference! Thanks! Mt. Wilson was such a challenge since I have not hiked in over three months but was so worth it knowing I finally checked off one peak of the Socal Six-Pack of Peaks challenge!
