Mount Wilson Ride will take you into the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains and to the top of a towering peak, Mount Wilson. Although not as high as its surrounding peaks, the views are just as good if not better. You'll find views of not only the San Gabriel Mountains and their rocky cliffs, but the populated valley below as well. The canyon roads are windy and comprised of several tight turns. With the combination of grade and turns, coming down is technical. Bring layers for the descent, it will likely be chilly. The heaviest of traffic is surrounding the parking area along Foothill Boulevard. The canyon roads leading to Mount Wilson will have light to moderate traffic.
