Mt. Adams Wilderness

0.7 miles (1.13 km)

Trail Uses:

Elevation:

High: 6,800 feet, Low: 6,100 feet

Season of Use:

Mid July-October

Access:

Trail #113 or #2000

Description:

High Camp Trail is located in the northern part of the Mt. Adams Wilderness, directly across from Killen Creek Trail #113 and the Pacific Crest Trail #2000. It is used primarily as access to climb the North Cleaver Route on Mt. Adams. The trail ends in a high alpine meadow (6,928 feet elevation). The trail is heavily used and was likely the route taken on the first documented ascent of Mt. Adams in 1854. (The south side climb, which is the most popular route today, was not the first route used to reach the summit.)

Special Conditions:

No open fires are allowed at High Camp (stoves only).

Features:

Views of Adams Glacier, Mt. Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and the Goat Rocks. ZQZ
