Grassy Knoll — Monday, Oct. 1, 2018

This trail starts north of triangle pass (not where the old green trails map shows it, although you can go that way). There are potholes on the last bit of rd 68 around triangle pass that are very large, but passable with my Subaru. Spent the night at the trailhead (nice view) and got an early start. Heard Bigfoot screams in the distance just before sunrise. The trail starts steep, and there is a nice viewpoint to the SE about .75 mile up. The grassy knoll is at 2 miles. There are footings here from what used to be a lookout, and you can see down to the Columbia river. The trail gets even more interesting from here, up and down over more knolls. The fall foliage was amazing. Passes the Cold Springs campsite in the forest and eventually climbs steeply again and up to the PCT. The Big Huckleberry mountain trail starts immediately from the PCT to the north. Didn't see anyone else.
