The hike to Mt Wilson via Chantry Flats is my preferred way to the top, but this trail is pretty nice too. The history behind the Old Mt Wilson trail makes it very special so this is a must hike for people who enjoy the peak.
I had a little deja vu on this hike since I ignorantly hiked this trail in February when it was technically closed, however there really is no fire damage until you reach the toll road and even then it's minimal.
Great day made even better crossing paths with a young black bear up by the large telescope.
