I Wanna Do Wilson !

I Wanna Do Wilson !

I've heard that fantastic views greet the fortunate person to reach the summit of Arizona's Mount Wilson. Today, winds exceeding 65-mph brought in clouds with a snow level of 6,500 feet, so it's probably snowing on Mount Wilson's summit as I type this. This is the highest peak in the Sedona area. There's several ways to do Wilson, but I want to go via the South Route or Wilson Mountain Trail. Anya Jingle has an excellent slide show on this specific trail & mountain. I'd like to go on a clear day, so I can see Steamboat Rock and the "red sail" of Accropolis" to the west, and the San Francisco Peaks and Oak Creek Canyon to the north. A person can also view the aftermath of the Brins Fire: The 1,500+ acre Brins Fire ignited June 18, 2006, off Brins Mesa Trail, and then spread east and northeast to Wilson Mountain and Oak Creek Canyon. According to fire officials, the Brins Fire started from an escaped campfire at a suspected transient camp. (Photo taken April 1, 2009 from Wilson Canyon on the south side of the mountain.)
