Summary
Grays Peaks Elevation 14,279ft. (Jul. 2, 2006) "East Slopes"
trail combo from Horseshoe Basin TH. From the TH I climbed the East slopes
trail with a slight variation. This class 2 with some class 3 trail runs (6.4
miles rt. with 4,112ft. gain). The dirt road to the TH is not too bad however it
took longer to drive it then I had expected. The class 3 climb I did was pretty
hairy but I found a better way down on the way back. see this trip page.
