Gregory.S. Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Going to head down to Mt. Adams again this year! !! Did not complete it last time and looking to get it off my mind as I have been obsessing about it ever since. I was wondering, what is the earliest the forest road is normally open going to the Trail head for the south spur route? From what I have heard it can be LAAATE in the season. Any guess / information / experience? Edited April 16, 2012 by Gregory.S. Quote
yellowlab03 Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 My wife and I are in the same boat as you. We were up there the first day it was open to the parking lot and I believe that was the second week of July. Quote
Gregory.S. Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Thank you! ! ! Last year I did not bring enough fuel for water, was sick, and hurt my back all at the same time. THe perfect storm of failure. Quote
yellowlab03 Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I smoked my wife on the walk to lunch counter, then she got sick/pissed at me. We ended up coming down. I feared for my life that night, I figured she'd bash me in the head with a rock while I slept. LOL Note to self for the next time, walk at her pace. Quote
bobinc Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 With an average snowpack, it's usually early to mid- July. If you want to avoid the crowds, you coudl go earlier and walk a bit further. Quote
Buckshot Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 If you walk, please park as far off the road as possible. Many people don't and end up with damage to their cars, plus its a pain to pass by. Quote
