Wilderness Peak Loop — Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022

Arrived at the Jim Whittacker Wilderness Creek trailhead around 8:45am on Saturday. The parking lot was full, and I was the first vehicle to park along 900. I took the loop counterclockwise up to Wilderness Peak. Saw a handful of hikers and trail runners, mostly on my way back down, but it didn’t feel crowded. Was back to the trailhead before 10:30am. By that time, about a dozen other vehicles lined the road.
