@vada06 I took the Mt. Wilson Trail from Sierra Madre off of Mira Monte. It's seven miles each way from the trailhead, but I had to park a bit away.
I didn't start until 2:30 and it was overcast and raining all day, so I got a peak of the sun for about a half hour before it set. I did the half in pitch black darkness, it was pretty amazing.
@morgandonor I've done a few trips from Chantry Flat, above and well pass Sierra Madre (Is a 3 mile drive from Sierra Madre to Chantry flat alone). It's about 5 to 6 miles from there to Mt Wilson, I'm not sure. And from Mt Wilson I take the Sturtevant trail through Sturtevant Camp and Sprooce Grove. Which is about 6 to 7 miles from there.
I tried out the trail from Sierra Madre the other day with a friend. hat is much steeper trail, and seen that is longer, it sure is harder.
15 miles? Where did you started and what trail you took?
Also, at what time did you started that the sun barely came out while on your way down?! /:0
