Gallery: Hiking the Mount Wilson Trail to First Water

First Water, a refreshing stop along the Mt. Wilson Trail, is a popular destination for hikers.

A lush hideaway less than two miles up the Mount Wilson Trail, First Water is a popular destination for out-of-towners and locals alike.

While most of the trail is exposed to the hot summer sun, hikers are rewarded with dip down into a small valley where fresh water flows and trees shade a nearby mountain paradise.
