Overview
Following the former route of the Pacific Crest Trail, the Grassy Knoll Trail takes you to a wildflower bonanza complemented by expansive views. The meadow at the trailhead is a good starting point for inspecting blooms. The trail then affords excellent vistas over the Big Lava Bed and proceeds through a series of meadows to the most stunning meadow of all, at the summit of Grassy Knoll , site of an old lookout. You can hike on if you want and the only downside of this experience is the rather potholed and narrow approach by road. NOTE: As of 2020 this trail hasn't seen maintenance in quite some time. There are several downed trees to climb over and numerous brushy and overgrown sections of trail.
