Grassy Mountain GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Grassy Mountain isn't necessarily a bad peak as much as it's just a boring one. From the trailhead, accessible by any car, I headed north through the sparse trees and located a very old dirt road. I followed this road as it began ascending a ridge until it became hard to follow. I quickly gave up looking for it and instead just continued along the ridge, passing a couple of Class 2 obstacles, but for the most part just dodging trees and burning my quads on the incline. I eventually made it to the south ridge and followed it to the summit, where there were some nice views to the north. Otherwise, kind of a boring peak.
