on our way home from lake tahoe, we stopped off at big bear again
john and janie's daughter and granddaughter joined us for two nights of camping at hanna flat
john and i found this little hike to do saturday morning
trailhead is near the unfortunately named town of fawnskin
the trail winds uphill to a forest service road, follows that for a short bit, then back on trail
good footing to an overlook of big bear lake, then a use trail to the true summit
better views from the overlook, so we stopped for a couple minutes at both
fun hike through granite, pines and oak at a moderate grade
nice peak if you're in the area

Our second stop at Big Bear Lake, this time on the way home. Nicely graded and maintained trail up to the peak. Somewhat obscured views of the lake. Fun hike. :)

This trail has gradual elevation change with almost no steps. Dogs, horses and mountain bikes allowed.

Trail begins at the north end of the parking lot, ascends along the lake, then turns left around the corner and shortly reaches a cul-de-sac of an old forest road. On your left you'll see one yellow marker, that's the place to turn right and follow the road. In 0.4 mi there will be an intersection with a wider forest road, turn right and follow this road and in 200 yards you'll see the "Grays Peak Trail" sign on your left. Follow the trail from here, there's 2.3 mi to peak from this sign and the trail is very distinct.

There are some openings along the trail and a lookout mostly at the top from where you can see Big Bear lake, but a view of the closer side of the lake is obstructed by trees. This peak ain't no baldy :)
