Jul 21, 2021 — The hike to Grass Mountain is nice mostly due to its solitude. It follows a road unsuitable for driving my rental sedan, and I'm not sure it's even legal to drive up. So I parked on the side of the main road and headed up by foot. Along the way I passed two residences. At the first major junction I kept to the right and continued ascending. No trespessing signs marked the left side of the road as private property, but I had no issues or potential trespassing issues along the route. The road stuck to the ridge crest, and although there are a few confusing options, I recommend just staying along the ridge and it shouldn't be an issue to stay on route.
The hike up the northwest ridge of Grass Mountain was a lot nicer than the first bit, the old roadbed now more of a trail. There was a memorial with a nice viewpoint along the way. The summit area of Grass Mountain had a small grassy area and no views, and the true high point was a few feet to the south, a short and easy bushwhack.
