Used heavily by both hikers and horses, this trail climbs through timber and open meadows in the Mt. Adams Wilderness. An old cabin site is visible approximately 2 miles from the trailhead. The cabin was built by sheepherders who used this area for summer pastures. The trail offers spectacular views of Mt. Adams and wildflower displays. The trail ends on the Pacific Crest Trail at 6,084 feet. Here you have the option of continuing on the High Camp Trail No. 10.

This trail was originally a Native American trail used to access berry-picking areas. It was later used by sheepherders on their way to summer pastures. Please stay on the trail and do not disturb the cabin site.
