Big Creek Trail #320A

I am not sure which way people usually take to knock out this "off-limits" high point, however, this way seems to be the most redeeming (due to the short, but pleasant hike up Big Creek Trail) and the most straightforward/logical in terms of avoiding the observatory and being detected.

It may take a minute to locate the beginning of Big Creek Trail and there is some deadfall to contend with for the first few tenths of a mile, however, after that, the old road bed becomes a pleasant trail, with a mild grade and some impressive old growth pines and firs. After Big Creek Trail, its more old road bed to the top of Graham. This part was also relatively pleasant and scenic. A little bit of a match stick, post apocalyptic scene on the summit, but the views are great!
