 | Comments: |
We climbed Mt. Adams via the King Ravine Trail. Slow and steady up the ravine, it took us 1.5 hours. It was no more difficult than Chemin des Dames. Both trails have a few places where we had to stop and think how to get up and over a rock. Very cold, foggy and windy at the summit so we did not stop. Clouds started at 5300 ft. After Thunderstorm Jct, we only saw 5 people all the way down. It is worth stopping at Crag Camp to look at King Ravine. |
