The Highest Peak In Josephine County

Looking from a near by peak out.
I hiked in October 12, 2012
Looking at Mt. Shasta in Ca.
That high peak happens to be Grayback Mountain at 7055 feet.
For being the highest, you really can't see it all that much.
The view to the left is look in the the Medford area I think.

Looking back down into Williams area.
 This view(above) is look at Mount Shasta, whitch is over the border in Calfornai.

 Left not sure, but could be in the Grants Pass, area.

On a peak near by, looking at GrayBack.
This shot is of Grayback, it self, I did not get there as you can guess, because I run out of time.
 It was about half a mile or so, but there is no trail so I had to cut crosss countery to get there, maybe about 30 to 40 minutes to do this.
I had planned to come in from the other side on the next trip.
Hope I get back before the snow flys. The snow came down to 3000 feet two weeks later, and stayed there for about 4 weeks. I did hide a cache on this peak, put it will have to wait tobe list next year when I go back to place the other 2 caches, it should under about 6 foot of snow.
Looking from Sugar Loaf at the back side of Grayback.

Looking  Mt. Mclought

The trail start near the rocks and goes across rock field all the way over to Oregon Cave area.
 Left looking up from the trail to Grayback peak.
Sign to every place.
 Signs pointing out place to go, I went right to Windy Gap and Surger Loaf peak.
Behind the sign and up the hill is the Grayback.
The cablen down the trail.
 Left.
I had read the cabien had burn down, so I did not go over that way, but from area shot, you can see the roof ??



Below, different trail I passed along the way.
Trail marker, also the fork in the trail.
Caben some place down there.
