Vincent Grisdale Hill

Last Picture of Donkey

We went to Grisdale Hill (I think it should be named Vincent hill but more on that later) to get donkey back. A geocacher found donkey and left in on the gate and sent me an email to let me know. We found donkey right on the gate. Not ten minutes later my 5 year old lost it again. I did not want to let her carry it up the hill. I should have put my foot down. The area she lost it in is very small but we can not find it. Goodbye donkey.. :(

Grisdale hill is nowhere near Camp Grisdale or the area known as Grisdale. I think some cartographic drift may have caused this hill's name to be changed to Grisdale. There is a Benchmark on the summit and it is labeled "Vincent" for Vincent creek that flows down off of this hill.

There used to be a lookout shack on the summit I assume it was built in 1952 because that is the date on the summit benchmark. Like most lookouts, it was later destroyed by the forest service.

4 miles round trip
1000 feet elevation gain
75 miles on my shoes, I'm guessing they are half-dead now.
