Gray Peak
About
Gray Peak is a summit in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness, within the Methow Valley Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The nearest town is Twisp, about 17 miles away. The peak sits right beside the Oval Lake Trail, which passes about a tenth of a mile away, and the Gray Peak Bootpath lies roughly 0.3 miles off. That makes both natural starting points for planning a trip to the summit. Oval Lake is about 0.2 miles from the summit. For overnight stays, Cascade Creek Campground is about 6 miles away and Lucerne Campground is just over 7 miles away.
