Description
The trail leaves Road 8031.120 from a clear-cut at 4,193 feet elevation, then climbs northeast, enters the Mt. Adams Wilderness, and continues through heavy timber and rocky slopes. The trail follows the long ridge, offering views of Avalanche and White Salmon Glaciers. The trail ends at the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail on top of the ridge at 5,800 feet elevation.
The scar from a massive debris avalanche can be seen from this trail. The avalanche occurred in August 1997. It originated in the Avalanche Glacier cirque, at approximately 12,000 feet elevation.
