Mt. Adams via King Ravine

 We will start from the Appalachia trailhead on Rt. 2 (1,306 ft.) and hike up to the summit of Mt. Adams (5,799 ft.) via the awesome King Ravine trail, where you will have lots of fun going through "The Subway," around, over, and through gigantic boulders.  Of course, you can skip the fun by going up on "The Elevated," and watch your buddies suffer below you.  After this, we will then scramble up the always tough headwall, onto the ridge and then on to the summit.  If this is a clear day, the views of Mt. Washington from the summit of Mt. Adams are spectacular.  We will return to Appalachia via the Air Line Trail, an equally awesome trail with great views.  A good portion of this hike will be on very exposed terrain above treeline, so come prepared with good weatherproof outer clothing, and a fleece to warm up while at the summit.  Also bring lots of water, lunch, and snacks.  The hike up will be 4.6 miles and the return 4.3 for a total of 8.9 miles round trip.  Rain will cancel this event.
