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 - DrewA wonderful September day
Sun softened snow made this possible - but dangerous!
Sweet view of the rugged beauty of Adams
