I returned to check on spring conditions and there is a profusion of green in Green Gulch. I hiked to the upper gulch and made ascents of Point 4148 and Mt Wilson for some big views of the area.
Flowers are in full swing with paintbrush, balsamroot, shooting star, phlox and blue bell looking especially good. Lupine is soon to come and there will be lots of it after the wet and cool spring.
I can see how this place got its name!

Any flatish or clearish spots to set up a tent on the way up to Mt Wilson?

There are spots just below the summit. You might check with regs to see if camping is permitted though. There is also some private land higher up.
