Description
The trail begins on the Pacific Crest Trail, 1.2 miles north of Killen Creek Trail No. 113. From here to Foggy Flat the trail is a roller coaster, refusing to follow the contours and forcing you up and down over the terrain. The trail travels in a west-to-east direction around the north side of Mt. Adams and rises in elevation from 6,000 feet to nearly 7,800 feet. The trail features spectacular views of Lyman and Lava Glaciers, as well as panoramic views of the Goat Rocks and Mt. Rainier. The trail crosses glacial meltwater streams that form two branches of the Muddy Fork. These crossings can be difficult, especially in the afternoons when the glacial melt is greatest.
At 5.3 miles, the trail enters the Yakama Indian Reservation. (This section of the trail is maintained and managed by the Yakama Indian Nation. Permits are required to use trails and facilities with the Tract D area of the reservation. Areas outside of Tract D are closed to the public.)
