Summer afternoons can bring thunderstorms, and winter often drops below 5°C overnight, so plan accordingly.
What should I pack for Mt Wilson?
Even in January, bring a warm jacket for the evening. In winter, a beanie and gloves are essential. Sturdy walking shoes are a must for the damp, uneven tracks.
