Mount Jefferson, Mount Adams (Bypassed)
Rough 17 miles covered. Chandler Book Trail was slick with just a little moisture on the rocks! Loved the 6 Husbands Trail, perhaps the most exciting trail in the Whites. Even found a small Eastern Ribbon Snake at 4700' on the shoulder of Jefferson. Until I arrived at Madison Hut, only saw two people. The decent down Madison Gulf Trail was interest. Beautiful falls but rough trail. |
