About This Trail

Imported description
The Mt Wilson Observatory has a paved path that leads to a beautiful view of the LA Basin. It's great for kids, with historic telescopes, museums and the Cosmic Cafe for snacks. It is possible to take a quarter mile or so on the unpaved Sturtevant Trail to get a good view of the back range.
