[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a view from the Grassy Knoll trail in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near my home in Carson. My family hiked this trail to find this stunning view of Mount Adams to the east, with these lovely Rocky Penstemons highlighting the viewpoint.

This steep trail follows the ridge through rolling hills with oak trees providing shade and dry grassy meadows with excellent view points. Cold springs, located about 5 miles from the trailhead, provide a good cooling off spot on this otherwise dry hike. The trail ends on the Pacific Crest Trail, below Big Huckleberry Mountain.

A fire lookout was constructed on Grassy Knoll in 1934 and was later abandoned and destroyed. A lookout was also constructed on Big Huckleberry Mountain in the 1920s. It was replaced with another building in the 1930's.
