6/23, Saturday. 9 women + 2 dogs met at 7am in Tualatin P&R, piled in 2 cars headed to Pamelia Lake restricted entrance area to hike Grizzly Peak. Only 3 group permits per day (more permits for small parties). One car chattes too much and missed the I-5 exist. By the time we started on the trail, it was already 9:50. A ranger and 3 of his co-workers (friends) sat at the picnic table next to the trailhead. He checked our permit, and gave a long speech about the 12-person limit that's granted by our permit. He emphasized 12 for countless times. 
There were at least 30 cars. I saw a family at a picnic table, but where were the rest who came in these cars? The lake is 2 flat miles from the parking lot. Thanks to the limited entry, we didn't see the many people, less than 10. Can see Pamelia Creek from time to time. The trees are good size. The camp sitea here have no view of the lake. I saw only one tent. The lake is quite nice. You have to scoop to the right on the logs to see Jefferson. The logs are big to walk on, but no place to relax for this view. We had a long break here looking at the lake.
Trail branches before the lake. Right to Grizzly Peak, left to Hanks Lake and maybe PCT. We headed up. The slope is gentle. About 3 miles to the top. All along, view is limited. At a few openings, Jefferson is right in your face. At one point, you can see the lake below: looks marshy from this angle. Rhododendrons were starting to bloom in lower elevations. A few pink flowers here and there. Would be nice to come back here in 2 weeks for that. 
The top is flat, not large. Seems to have had some lookout before. Again, the view is somewhat limited. You can see south to Mt Washington and Three Fingered Jack. Had lunch, before heading back. Reached the car ~3:40pm.Total about 11 miles, 2600'. I got a ride to and from home for this hike. Nice.
