Description
This trail begins in Morrison Creek Campground, located on the southern slopes of Mt. Adams, and climbs north through sparse pine and over rocky slopes. It crosses Shorthorn Creek before intersecting with Round the Mountain Trail No. 9.
This and a number of other trails in the area were developed by sheepherders in the late 1800s. Sheepherders traveled as far as eastern Oregon to graze their sheep on these summer ranges. The sheepherders often followed Native American trails.
