Distance: 7.5 miles, out and back
Elevation gain: 1200 + 300
Hours: 3.5 hours
The hike is a kind of adventurous, because most people are new to this trail. The weather in December is pretty windy and cold, and I have little snow near the top. Please prepare warm clothes and globes. There was PCT trail sign at the beginning, soon you will see the top of Grass mountain. On way back, we take a different way to PCT and then hike about a mile or so, then turn around, return back where we came. There was another PCT trail on the other side, so it may worth try that next time.
Second Time: Sep 23, 2017
The weather was nicer than last visit. The uphill is not steep, and very comfortable hiking.
