Avaleht / Mt Adams Summit Photos WA 33
Postituse kuupäev / 2016 / Nädal 23
I guess this is a crevasse at the top of Mazama glacier at the edge of Piker's Peak.
Looking up to the summit of Mt. Adams from Piker's Peak in mid-August.
Looking east from Piker's Peak at South Butte and Eastern Oregon. In the far distance are windmill farms along the Columbia River Gorge. At night you can see red navigation lights on the towers.
Some birds came by while we were climbing up to Piker's Peak. I suspect they were looking for handouts and moved on when we didn't give them anything.
Steve sitting in front of his tent in the morning before climbing to the summit of Mt. Adams. The long rock patch on the right is the easiest way up and down Piker's Peak.
Looking south at Mt. Hood with Mt. Jefferson peaking out on the left side of Mt. Hood.

Sunrise from Lunch Counter on Mt. Adams at the 9,500 foot level with a view of Mt. St. Helens in the distance. Mt. Adams is casting its shadow on the atmosphere.
Sunrise from Lunch Counter on Mt. Adams at the 9,500 foot level with the sun just beginning to shine on our tents and warm things up.
Sunset from Lunch Counter on Mt. Adams at the 9,500 foot level with a view of Mt. St. Helens in the distance.
Looking up towards Piker's Peak from below Lunch Counter. In mid-August there is still a mixture of snow, ice, and rocks to be crossed to get to Lunch Counter.
Looking towards Mt. Hood over the lower edge of Cresent Glacier. It is easy to see how a person can get lost coming down from Mt. Adams in bad weather.
Here is Stacy, Rene, and Vernon on the snowfield below Lunch Counter on Mt. Adams. We were lucky to have warm weathter to soften up the snow.
Flowers are sparse along the trail to Lunch Counter. Here you can see how the ground is a rocky mix of sand, pebbles, rocks, and boulders.
