A carved wooden sign at the trailhead shows the beginning of the South Climb Trail 183 to Mt. Adams.
A mountain goat browses on the sparse plants at Lunch Counter at 9,500 feet in elevation.
A mountain goat casually browses on the sparse plants at Lunch Counter at 9,500 feet in elevation. Once it ate the flowers, it dug up more of the plant to eat.
A U.S.G.S. survey monument is set into a rock on the 12,276 foot summit of Mt. Adams.
A view of the summit of Mt. Adams from the trail. The last part of the trail is dry except for a step-across stream crossing just below the summit.
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.
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.
Here is the final approach to the summit of Mt. Adams. You can see several other people going up the trail from near Piker's Peak to the summit.
I guess this is a crevasse at the top of Mazama glacier at the edge of Piker's Peak.
Look carefully at the snow in the distance and you can see the sulpher that has been deposited by Mt. Adams. We got several whiffs of the smell at the shack. We thought someone was lighting matches.
Looking back at Piker's Peak from the final approach to the summit of Mt. Adams in late 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.
Looking south at Mt. Hood with Mt. Jefferson peaking out on the left side of Mt. Hood.
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.
