Description
Adams Glacier Meadows, also known as High Camp, is a really nice, high elevation alpine area on Mount Adams. This is a base camp for climbing Mount Adams so you might see some climbers. As a day hike, try hiking up further on glacial moraines for some even greater views. It's only 4 miles from Killen Creek Trailhead, so it's pretty busy on summer weekends.
There's a year-round drinking water stream going through the meadow. If it's busy, and you're looking for a campsite, try continuing past the stream, south, there are a number of meadow areas you could camp at. Or go up. Right as the main trail reaches the meadow, there is a crude trail going right onto the ridge overlooking the trail that you just hiked up. There are nice views from here, and some more possible campsites.
