🥾⛰️ Ready for a serious YoPro challenge?
We’re taking on Mount Wilson via Little Santa Anita Canyon, one of the toughest and most rewarding hikes in the San Gabriel Mountains.
This is not one of our usual moderate hikes — expect a long day, sustained climbing, steep and rocky sections, narrow trail in places, and nearly 5,000 feet of elevation gain. In return, we’ll get incredible mountain views, changing scenery as we climb, and the satisfaction of reaching Mount Wilson together. 💪
🥾 14.0 miles
⛰️ 4,842 ft elevation gain
⏱️ Approx. 9–11 hours
🔥 Difficulty: HARD
↔️ Out & back
⚠️ PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP
This event is recommended for experienced hikers with strong endurance. You should be comfortable hiking 10+ miles with significant elevation gain.
Please bring:
💧 3–4 liters of water minimum
⚡ Electrolytes
🥪 Lunch + plenty of snacks
🥾 Proper hiking shoes with good traction

We’ll stay together as a community, but everyone attending should be physically prepared for the distance and climbing.
