Grays Peak Trail
Grays Peak Trail is a moderately easy, 6.4-mile, out-and-back hike in Fawnskin, CA. This dog-friendly trail is located within the San Bernardino National Forest and will take about 3.5 hours to complete with Fido. This trail is on the north side of the lake and will actually lead you to the backside of the mountain where water views disappear.

Since this trailhead is within the bald eagle habitat, it's closed during the nesting season from winter to spring, sometimes extending into summer.
