| Nice but hot variation to Mt Wilson Trail. I did it in the early PM (the sun was very strong) so it is a trail to enjoy in the AM or on a cloudy day. Up to Jones peak, down the connector to Mt Wilson trail & up to Orchard Camp. Then reversed steps, up Jones peak again and ended by dusk at the trailhead in Sierra Madre. To be recommended as a training route, steeper than the much busier Mt Wilson trail. In more than 4 hours I did not encounter a single hiker except at Orchard Camp. |
