washed-out trail

Mt Adams, June 10, 2006


A very rainy hike. I only took a few hurried photos, and only below treeline. Above treeline there wasn't much to see anyway: lots of fog, and more rain. This was supposed to have been a hike up King Ravine and over to Mt Jefferson, but the weather didn't cooperate. I got to Adams 4 by an easier route, then turned back.
