Greyrock Trail
 | 19 miles away I hiked Grey Rock on July 3rd and contracted poison ivy. Great hike, but beware and buy some Zanfel first!...Another great story describing the wounders of the Rocky Mountains. As a life serious rock climber I truly respect the story of a beautiful hike. Thank you, enjoy many more family adventures. Don't rush up the mountains and be thankful for the lush mountains we call the Rocky Mountains....I climb to the Grey Rock Summit every summer. We went this 4th of July weekend. We left the parking lot late afternoon and got to the summit with enough time to hike the boulders to the top after putting up the tent. The 4 of us watched the sunset. I had a headlamp, but didn't need it. There was an almost full moon lighting up the canyon. My daughter & I slept in the parachute hammocks and watched the moon cross the sky. I enjoyed a good sunrise too. The trail leading to the lake was marked with rock piles that even I found it! I walked in up to my knees and soaked my bathing suit in the clear water. The others walked across the lake and climbed the rocks to the top on the West side. So refreshing. Nice family holiday. We were also celebrating my daughters 19th birthday.... |
