 | Comments: |
Great hike from Valley Way Tentsite (good place to stay, by the way) to Adams and Jefferson, then back to the tentsite. It was a beautiful day, not too windy and spectacular views all day long. We spoke to several impressive and accomplished hikers throughout the day. Upper Bruin Trail (to connect from Valley Way to Airline) was somewhat steep but has beautiful greenery. On a nice day like today, upper Airline Trail is a good alternative to Valley Way, with good views all around, especially down into King Ravine and out to the north.
Thanks to "Remington34" for taking our picture at the summit of Mt Adams (#47 for my wife)! It was fun discussing our various hiking expeditions over the years! |
