on the eastern side of the Plumas National Forest. I have been on many fires in the area over the years, driven virtually all of the roads up there, but have never actually climbed to the summit till then. It was a really cool, blustery day and I was glad I had chosen long sleeves and long pants instead of what Chris was wearing. The hike itself was not all that strenuous, we were able to drive to within a mile of the top. Actually my map program showed me that the distance was less than a mile and an elevation change of about 800 feet. Ya gotta love that. Adams is in a roadless area and I know that some of the old fires up there were staffed by smoke jumpers over the years. We found a container with a register in it left by the Sierra Club on the top, so we both signed it. The final ascent to the summit was a little tough due to the vegetation on the side we came up on, but we fou
nd a much easier way down so the route a person takes can make a big difference in the difficulty of this hike. Nice views of the surrounding area and you can see the Highway 395 corridor in one of my pictures.The 2 scenery pictures are of that 395 corridor out near Hallelujah Junction and the other one is looking north toward Honey Lake Valley and Doyle.
