A perfect, cloudless day offered views out to Rainier, St. Helens, & Goat Rocks. The wildflowers were blooming in profusion from nearly the start of the trail all the way to High Camp. Only a few patches of snow were encountered along the way, nothing that would impede progress or require an ice axe. The view of the Adams Glacier from High Camp is worth every drop of sweat needed to get there. Be sure to pack your insect repellent, the black flies were ferocious. It was a small price to pay for the reward of the fantastic views & all the flowers. Definitely a four-star hike!
