Backpacking Grey Rock 2014 #2

This trip was one of our better planned adventures into the great outdoors. We set off on a Friday afternoon around 4:30 PM and then reached the campsite via the summit trail around 7:00 PM. We then all set off on the task to prepare camp. All was usual; including our common occurrence of not getting the water filters to work in the nearby stream. Just after some of the members of our group began to retire for the night my friend Tom recommenced somewhat sarcastically that we summit Grey Rock that night. Well I took this as a serious offer and before we knew it we were off. This took place just after midnight, and we reached the summit about 1 and a half hours later. Staying up there for a little while we decided to return to camp that night. After our very late night it was an early or seemingly early wake up call to get on the trail so we could drive up the road to do some rock climbing. All in all it was a great trip and I recommend the Summit trail over the meadows trail any day. 3/28-3/29/2014

Likability 9/10 One of the best areas I have ever been in relations to how close it is to civilization. Summit Trail is better in my opinion.
