I woke up early and asked headed towards Mount Wilson. Google said it should take 5 or 6 hours.

But the last part of the planned route was up a steep and narrow hiking trail. So I had to treat to suburban Pasadena.

Then I did some research on the Internet and found that the Mount Wilson Toll Road may work. It was a Jeep track with a consistent 10% gradient. It was difficult on my loaded Walmart bicycle with slicks. And it was very hot, so I took frequent breaks. Even casual hikers overtook me.

The sun set when I was only halfway up the mountain. Fortunately I was at the Henninger Flats campground where I camped. There was no one at reception, so I camped for free.
