The actual trail to the top of Gray's Peak is only 7.5 miles round trip. It has some pretty steep grades though even though it's supposed to be one of the easier 14ers.

However, the road leading up to the trail does not have any maintenance and we were unable to take our car up there (and it even has AWD- you would just need a high truck or SUV). So we ended up walking over 13 miles round trip as it added another 3 miles each way. It took us 7 hours to do the whole thing. I know that sounds really sad, but it was hard going up AND down!! I know you like to hike mountains so you will know that it's not quite as pathetic as it sounds.
