Little Grayback Trail #921
The Little Grayback Trail offers spectacular views of Squaw Lakes and the surrounding basins. The trail climbs gently across the southern slopes of Little Grayback Mountain towards Hanley Gap, and emerges onto FS Road 340, within one mile of Squaw Peak (elevation 4984’).
Little Grayback Mountain was likely named by the early miners for the persistent presence of lice (“graybacks”) at their Applegate River camps.
Considerations: Prepare for your hike! Carry plenty of water, as there is no water along this trail.
Multi User Information: As this is a multi-user trail, prepare to yield to other user groups. Use caution on blind corners. Should you encounter stock, make your presence known, and move to the downhill side of the trail.
