Mt. Wilson -> Mt. Yale -> Hastings Peak 5/24/2013

Started on top of Wilson, down the Mt. Wilson Trail to the Mt. Wilson Toll Road. Bypassed Mt. Harvard, scrambled up to the ridge line before reaching Mt. Yale. Went over Yale, then down the ridge to Hastings Peak.

Lost my hiking partner for a while around Yale. He tried to find an easier scramble up to Mt. Yale without luck, then we lost each other for about 45 minutes.

Found a cute baby rattlesnake on the Toll Road on the way back.

Full trip report if you want more details.

Can anyone identify the type of rattlesnake? My guess is Southern Pacific rattlesnake.
