Hiking Mt. Wilson via Chantry Flats - Sony a6300 4K Footage cookiebazookie: Thank you for your video. This might be a video that you can show the posterity of what the trail looks like before the Bobcat fire. I was lucky enough to go to the top of Mt. Wilson via three different paths. One is by Wilson Toll Road (starting from Eaton Canyon, one is by Mt. Wilson Trail, one by Chantry Flat. For the Chantry flat, I was planning on taking the lower Winter Creek Trail, but ended up doing upper Winter Creek trail the entire way. Both Mt. Wilson Trail and Upper Winter Creek Trail are super strenuous. Because I went by Upper winter Creek, I didn't get to see the Sturtevant Fall and that hike added extra 2-3 miles. I am planning on going via the path you took this coming winter/spring. We shall see.

I've lived in view of Mount Wilson my entire life but I never climbed it, and didn't even know there was a trail for the longest time. When I was a kid I used to live where I had a good view of it outside my living room window and one winter it was filled with snow, it was so beautiful. Wish I had known back then there was a hiking trail up there. Seeing this really makes me want to take a hike up there, better late than never! I think I found the perfect use for my new hiking boots! :D

Thomas, I really enjoyed this video. The Chantry Flats footage was from an area of the Angeles Forest that I hiked as a teen with a group from my high school led by a rather famous explorer named John Goddard who lived not far from here back in those days. I remember the narrow trail and a stream down below. There is some beautiful scenery in the Angeles Forest.

Great Video! You should also try hiking Mt. Wilson via the Devore Trail Loop. This one is over 11 miles long, starts at the summit, descends to West Fork Camp, follows the San Gabriel River, then goes straight up the Gabrielieno and Rim trails back to the top! Challenging but some places by the river and especially at the Rim trail are definitely worth it.

Thanks for the memory. In 1955 I was a junior in Monrovia High School. Three friends and I drove to Chantry Flats and climbed to Mt. Wilson, but it was so foggy as we reached what we thought was the top we headed back down. Today I huff and puff going upstairs

Has anybody had any UFO sightings in the Angeles Forest areas? I-ve seen an incredible sight in the canyo between red box road & Angeles crest highway. Also anybody have any run ins with the Spanish speaking religious cult on big tujunga road? Haha cause I have

Nice work Thomas and Allie!
We're very fortunate up here in New England. Winter hiking is
extremely popular which keeps up in shape for the summer season.
Plus, if something goes wrong, you get a very expensive helicopter ride
back down!

Ive hiked just about every notable Peak in the San Gabriels from Echo Mt to Baldy. I always avoided Wilson because i knew it was flooded with crowds. I just completed it today for the first time from sierra madre I'll definitely do it again.

My family from Sierra Madre. i hiked this trail alone up and down one day and threw up. harder than you think it is. didnt know there was another route. proud you guys
visited the foothills. the area one if original areas to be surveyed.

reply

Ha! once you get a mile away from the trail head, you typically have the park to yourself. At least that is how it happens here in hot old Texas. Good video dude. You guys do well together. Keep it up AA! Then get your butts to Texas.
