Mt. Adams

Mt. Adams Highline Trail circumnavigates the mountain. Part of this route takes you onto the Yakima Indian reservation, and therefore can be a bit of a logistical quest. (if you go late season like we did, you will be virtually alone!). It was freezing at night, and hot during the day, a wonderful hike..

I’ll post the trip report soon – And I assure it’ll make you out-of-town adventurers arrange your travels, make hotel reservations and do whatever you have to do to get to Mount Adams! Happy hiking, DrewA wonderful September day
Sun softened snow made this possible - but dangerous!
Sweet view of the rugged beauty of Adams
