HIKING MT. WILSON IN LOS ANGELES (in the rain, hail, and snow)

Join me as I hike to the summit of Mt. Wilson in Los Angeles! This hike is a beast - 14.5 miles with about 5,000 feet of elevation gain. And if the hike to Mt. Wilson wasn't hard enough...I hit some unexpected weather along the way, including rain, hail, and even snow. Come along with me as I summit Mt. Wilson - the first hike in the SoCal Six Pack of Peaks Challenge! Let me know in the comments below what your favorite hike is! #MtWilson #MountWilson

SO excited to have stumbled upon your channel. I'm just learning the joy (and healing) of hiking! I'm often hiking alone (I know...not ideal) but man...your videos make me smile. Thank you.

You should have explored the observatory when you worked to get to the summit!
This was a nice video…I have done most of the great hikes in LA but have never completed the Wilson hike. I’m not sure how the CZcams algorithm sent you to me but it’s nice to see hi-qual video of that trail in the second half.

Love the Mt. Wilson Trail, I hiked it many times when I used to work in Arcadia. I recognized all the markers along the way like First Water and Orchard Camp and the turn onto the Toll Road. I will say it looks like you went to the false summit instead of the actual summit. When you're on the Toll Road section and when you get to the part where there's a big water tank on the left, there will then be a use trail on the right side that takes you to the very top, about 1/4 mile up. You will arrive at a parking lot and nearby is the Cosmic Cafe (open weekends only) and the observatory a little further. Last time I hiked up there it was pretty hot and I was really looking forward to an ice cold soft drink, only to realize I left my money in the car at the trailhead😕. But the nice lady at the counter filled up my platy with ice water for the return trip. If you hike the Toll Road trail starting at the gate on Pinecrest in Altadena it's a longer but easier trail to the top. Anyway, I really enjoyed your video.

@@DempseyMarks thank you for taking the time to respond, I liked the size and the trekking pole attachment I will add it onto my list to research. 👍
