Greyrock Mountain Meadows Loop 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.

Starting on the Greyrock Trail, take the left fork of the junction to follow the Greyrock Meadows Trail up a beautiful ridge with great views of the surrounding hills, eventually leading to an overlook of Greyrock Mountain, which is unmistakable. The trail loses some elevation, traverses the Greyrock Meadows area, and then meets back up with the Greyrock Trail. From the junction, a trail leads up to the summit, some very easy scrambling along the way. The trail is also slightly difficult to follow near the summit.
