Grays And Torreys Trailhead

Austin Watson

About 5 miles in and 5 miles out of nothing but beautiful Mountain View’s and beautiful wildflowers. Such a cool hike! Just a fun side note: Be sure to get there at or before 4am to guarantee a spot if you plan on summiting both peaks. We arrived at 4:30 and just barely found a spot to park. Enjoy the hike!!😁

I had an amazing experience. If you’re going on a weekend, expect lots of cohikers and full parking lots. Got to the trailhead fine with my Subaru Outback. I got there at 9pm on Friday and the upper lot was full already. Tons of people arriving through the night.

One of the single greatest experiences of my life. Challenging and rewarding. 6 hours 40 minutes round trip with lots of stops along the way for taking pictures, no stops at all on the return. Roughly around a 9 mile round trip if summiting both together in the same climb. About an additional mile is added if summiting the two. Views of the continental divide are stunning. Highly advise wearing appropriate hiking boots with a bit more ankle support and traction as this hike is rugged with slightly high tendencies for rock slides. Not as prevalent if you stick directly to the trail although it’s possible to lose track of snow coverage is still present. Some of the snow coverage was knee deep for very short periods of time. My climb was mid June ‘22. These were my first 2 14ers, therefore I don’t have a comparison to others nor do I know where these fall in overall competitive difficulty levels. 2 together were a challenge. Happy climbing!

Great hike with beautiful views. If you are planning to go Friday- Sat in the summer you HAVE to be there by 5am or the lot will be full. I almost would rather go start around 11 or noon when the trailhead starts to clear out. It’s a mess trying to find parking in the dark.
