Gray's Peak Trailhead is located just across from the Grout Bay Picnic Ground. The trailhead is in the center of a bald eagle wintering habitat area and is closed to all public use from November 1 to April 1.

From the trailhead the access to Gray's Peak Trail climbs to the west for 0.5-mile until it merges with Forest Road 2N04X . Turning north (right), 2N04X joins FR 2N70 after 0.25-mile. Go straight (do not turn left) and continue to the beginning of the Gray's Peak Trail, 200 yards on your left. From there it is 2.75-miles to the top of Gray's Peak. The trail fades as you get a quarter mile from the summit, 7,920 feet, and becomes increasingly more difficult as you climb up through buckthorn and over and around boulders.

Hanna Flat Trail and Campground lie ahead.

Directions: From Fawnskin, CA, Travel west on Highway 38 for 0.6-mile to reach the Gray's Peak Trailhead, which is located on the west side of Highway 38, across from the Grout Bay Picnic Ground.
