RHRoop Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 We are planning a Memorial Day weekend trip to Mt. Adams. I'm trying to manage risks by getting a variety of opinions on how close we drive to various approaches on the mountain. Our goal is to the climb Adams by the southern route (our primary objective from this trip is Mt. Hood) but the north ridge is an option. Any opinions on what road conditions will be like at the end of May this year? We will be in a four wheel drive. Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapertimmy Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Welcome to our world of spray! With the low snow pack this year you should be okay to drive up to cold springs by then (south ridge trailhead), you best bet for road conditions/beta is right here, check the southern washington forum for more up to date info as your visit approaches.

fredrogers Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 You can aslo try here: http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation2002/current/roads-report.shtml Or call the ranger station. One should take their reports with a grain of salt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Also, it is not that far and the brush is not all that thick if you set off cross country from Morrison Creek campground, and the road usually opens that far much earlier than it does to Cold Springs.

RHRoop Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 Thanks all for the beta. I had read over the posts from last year regarding access but the question had not been raised yet this year. This is a great site. I appreciate everyone's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
