Grizzly Peak is a 5.5-mile out-and-back hike in Oregon's Mount Jefferson Wilderness, on the Detroit Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest. It rises from a base of about 4,000 feet to a high point of 5,772 feet, with a total elevation gain of 2,445 feet over the course of the trip. The climb is front-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes around 1.2 miles in at about 25%, so the first third of the hike is the most demanding part. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural surface. Bikes are not allowed on this route. The trip is open season from June through October, and it takes about three hours to complete. Pamelia Lake is just 0.1 mile away, and Hunts Creek is about 0.6 mile off. For paddling, Pamelia Creek is about 2.5 miles away, and Riverside Campground is about 4.5 miles away.
