WATER: Water only at 7.5 miles; carry enough fluids for 7.5 steep up hill miles.
 
The Mt Wilson Trail entrance begins at 156 E. Mira Monte Ave. in Sierra Madre.

Plenty of street parking available near the bottom of the Mt. Wilson Trail, at Mira Monte Park, corner of Mira Monte and Mountain Trail in Sierra Madre. As always, be sure to double-check for any "no parking" signs.

RUN DESCRIPTION: The trail is 15 miles round trip, 7.5 miles uphill and the rest downhill. The first and the last 1 mile have
total exposure to the sun.

Cosmic Cafe opens at 10 AM on top of Mt. Wilson. Restrooms available here. Bring $$ for a snack.

I am estimating about 4 1/2 hours round trip for this with a 15 minutes break at the cafe.
