Our Notes
We hiked into Graham Mountain in late summer 2022. This trail gets a fair amount of motorcycle and foot traffic; we didn’t see anyone the whole day we were here exploring.
At the top of the mountain, it’s very easy to walk around and find all the cement footings, the fallen cabins’ remains, and other debris from the downed towers.
WHO is GJ?
This trip, we hiked to the top of Graham Mountain, then down the ridge and out via Graham Creek. GORGEOUS trail!
