Mt Wilson via Chantry Flat Hike Guide

No caption provided.

Hike down the paved fire road, which used to go all the way (paved) to Sturtevant Camp (you’ll see that later).

The trail sign at the start confirms you’ve got about 50 feet done, 7 miles to go.

The trail starts on the forest road at the entrance to the Chantry Flat parking lot.

The loop climbs past Sturtevant Falls and Spruce Grove before topping out at the Mt Wilson summit, then returns via Winter Creek Trail.

Here’s detail of the lot and where the trailhead is.

The Chantry Flat parking area opens at 6am and fills up quickly. You might have to drive down the road to park if the lot is full.

Aside from a little dip at the start and end, the hike climbs steadily toward the Mt Wilson summit. Take your time and pace yourself.

The Mt Wilson hike from Chantry Flat is a nice loop that has tree cover for most of the way. It’s a good hike to do on hot days because of the shade.
