Greyrock trail is awesome. For the most part it is clearly marked but I have been lost a few times on it. There are two trails the Greyrock Peaks and Greyrock Meadows. I got lost at the top going towards the Greyrock Peak; there is a point on the trail where you can go straight or left (steep uphill) and I chose straight and it led to nowhere (unless I was going rock climbing). The problem is there are rock stacks for both directions (which can be confusing). The trail is well worth it there is a pond (wading depth) at the top and 360 degree views. Gorgeous!! It is an ominous peak. Just a big grey blob. Overall awesome hike.

I climb to the Grey Rock Summit every summer. We went this 4th of July weekend. We left the parking lot late afternoon and got to the summit with enough time to hike the boulders to the top after putting up the tent. The 4 of us watched the sunset. I had a headlamp, but didn't need it. There was an almost full moon lighting up the canyon. My daughter & I slept in the parachute hammocks and watched the moon cross the sky. I enjoyed a good sunrise too. The trail leading to the lake was marked with rock piles that even I found it! I walked in up to my knees and soaked my bathing suit in the clear water. The others walked across the lake and climbed the rocks to the top on the West side. So refreshing. Nice family holiday. We were also celebrating my daughters 19th birthday.
Chris Adams:
Another great story describing the wounders of the Rocky Mountains. As a life serious rock climber I truly respect the story of a beautiful hike. Thank you, enjoy many more family adventures. Don't rush up the mountains and be thankful for the lush mountains we call the Rocky Mountains.
