wyopeakMikeplane wreck  Sucess!

I went to the top of Williamson four or five times, but I remember the most when I went with my brother to the plane wreck. It was in the mid 80's and we hiked down to find the wreck. When we got there to our surprise there was a group of very strange folks camped out there trying to hike out the aluminum for money. My brother and I were both wierded out by this group, we think they might have been junkies from the city. We did not hang around too long.

farrisglNice view but not Williamson......  Sucess!
Date Climbed: May 23, 2009

When I think of Mt. Williamson, I think of the spectacular views from the summit of 14er with the same name. However, still nice view north into the desert and worth the easy hike.

Date Climbed: May 12, 2008

Very windy through some sections of the trail, enough to affect my balance a bit. Overall, this was a very simple hike. Brought the dog, had some lunch up top, and enjoyed the amazing views (even though it was very foggy/overcast down below, which made for a sea of white below us to the west).

Run by, went over the mountain on the PCT trail on my way to Pasadena. Not quite as grand as the other Williamson in CA.

Climbed on a nice windy day, with a view of all the fires. on the peak, a glider rode a thermal literally close enough for me to touch it.

David RosenbergClimbed 3 Times  Sucess!
Done this one via the Pleasant View ridge route. Twice coming from the Pallett direction and once via Williamson. Check out the plane crash on the right after you leave the first saddle after you leave Williamson on the ridge. Also the register is on the second bump to the west not the traditional summit.

The parking lot was full of hunters, but the only people I saw on this hike were the guys in the glider who kept buzzing the summit when I was up there. Wasn't sure which bump is highest, so I tagged them all. Summit register is on the second bump. A bit smoky and hazy in all directions, but great weather and very worthwhile hike.

Had to park over 4mi down the road West from Islip saddle. Hiked the PCT up to Williamson, then down to Islip Saddle, then over to Mt. Islip. Descended to Little Jimmy, then walked back on SR2 back to the car.
