Beskrivelse

At 7,050 ft., Grayback Mountain is the tallest peak in the Josephine County. The spectacular Grayback Mountain Trail is open to hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. The trail provides a low elevation access point to thousands of miles of trail, including the Forest Service Boundary Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, as well as access to the Oregon Caves and the Red Buttes Wilderness.

Grayback got its name in the days of the Gold Rush. Miners were often irritated by lice, or “graybacks” and named the mountain accordingly. This trail began with an idea from the Rogue Group Sierra Club. With the help of the Forest Service, the community of Williams, Oregon, and volunteers on Public Lands Day events, the Bureau of Land Management was able to construct the trail between1989 and 2006.
