I:⭐️ Grays Peak and Arctic Point Outing

I: Grays Peak (7,920) and Arctic Point (8,336) are both accessed from the north side of the beautiful Big Bear Lake. A long drive on a bad road will take us to our Arctic Point cross-country route of only about 3 miles round trip with approximately 1000' of gain. We will then return to the Lake and drive a very short distance to our Grays Peak trailhead. Grays Peak is an HPS Star Emblem Peak with stunning views over the Lake. We will climb the peak from the northwest side, in order not to disturb the famous nesting bald eagles, whose third egg was laid January 31. Jackie & Shadow take turns sitting on their eggs, incubating them for 38-39 days, so perhaps we will be able to join the Pip Watch from the Grays Peak summit. This pathfinder route will be 5 to 7.5 miles round trip, depending upon a possible gate closure, with approximately 1,100 feet of gain. The group will meet in Fawnskin, at the northwest corner of Big Bear Lake.
