Pineknot Trail to Grand View Point Guide

From the parking area you’ll wind your way up Red Ant Canyon (yup) to Skyline Road. Just past that is Grand View Point.

You’ll climb about 300-400 feet every mile, which is a gradual gradient. Some sections are uphill, none steep, some rolling, and there are many flat sections in between.

There’s a moderate amount of parking, but I’ve never seen the lot full early in the morning.

Look for the Aspen Glen Picnic Area nestled in the middle of a residential area.

Since Aspen Glen offers picnic benches and a bathroom, there is a fee. You can use an Adventure Pass or a national parks pass , which I highly recommend investing in.
