We reached the Lower Gray Wolf River trailhead via forest service roads, coming from the Mount Zion trailhead. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we did not need 4WD or high clearance on any of the forest service roads - they were in pretty great shape! Kinda wished we'd driven the fuel-efficient car instead of the SUV...
Anyway, we arrived at the Gray Wolf trailhead, packed our lunch into our backpacks, and headed off for a picnic by the river. FYI, they were TONS of mosquitos at the trailhead, even in the middle of the day. They cleared a bit along the trail, though.
We hiked in about 2 miles and found a nice spot along the river. Ate a quick lunch and then made our way back out. It was pretty muggy and a little warm for our Northwest blood, but still a nice hike.
