It was forecast for Sunday, partly cloudy low 60's.  When I arrived at the trailhead it was raining!  My weather app radar showed no rain at the location.  I was looking forward to hiking in dry conditions so I can enjoy the beauty of the scenery and take lots of photos and videos.  It was on and off light rain and drizzle heading up the trail.  It was challenging hike dealing with the wet conditions and at the end it was a rewarding experience.  When I reach to the summit it was a blanket of white fog.  I couldn't see a view, but Mount Wilson in heavy fog was so surreal.  As I headed down, the rain stop and the fog was clearing up that I was able to see the beauty of nature and the views.  Yes, I was able to take some photos and videos.  Due to the heavy fog, there was no one to take a photo of me at the summit.
