Seems some people think Adams is not worthy,others looking for help. I have spent a lot of time around there, hear is a few tips.
Camping at cold springs is tough noisey, camp lower.
The lunch counter has a lot of mice, camp on the ridge west of the cresent glacier about a mile lower.
One day is better.
North ridge, sw shute, and Mazama glacier better routes than the south spur but a bit more of a grunt.
South spur best on a week day, September a good time.
This is if you want to go the fastest way.
Adams glaicer is fun, North and east areas offer good wilderness, and interesting route finding
The ranger station at trout lake can give you outdated road reports, do not just take the word of the person that answers.
