This time limited access interests me. I've never been to the Yakama side of Mt Adams. I'm referring to the Bird Creek Meadows Loop Hike.

Could a 2017 Honda Civic make it to the Bird Lake trailhead?

Yes. The road is actually pretty good gravel now.

This year, the east side of Mt Adams will only be open until Sept. 25th on the Yakama Indian Reservation. This was a hike from Bird Creek Meadows up to Iceberg Lake.

Enjoy your trip!

Never mind this was only 1/10 mile past the wilderness registration box. In other news, the Cast Creek trail has a normal amount of blowdown (normal for...

Yes, Chip found the Alway trail that leads to Cold Spring. It is pretty obvious. GPS coordinate3s 45.8332, -121.7799. There are a series of cute hand made signs along the Alway trail. At Cold Spring Camp, there's a sign which commemorates George Alway (1906-1993). My hike, including out and back to ...
