H<\/span>ave you ever felt an urge to run from sea level to the summit of Mt. Adams (12,276 ft\/3,742m), the second highest peak in Washington State and the third highest peak in the Cascades Range<\/a>? While this would never occur to me, I hope the Gorge(ous)2Adams 100 challenge may be for you.<\/p>\n

The Route<\/h4>\n

The route starts on the North side of the Bridge of the Gods<\/a> (Cascade Locks). You will hop on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and stay on it until you reach the north-west side of Mt. Adams (mile 90 or so, at the intersection with the Killen Creek trail #113). You will then head up the High Camp Trail #10 and ascend Mt. Adams on the North Cleaver route<\/a>, then descend on the traditional South Spur route<\/a>. The finish will be at the Cold Springs trailhead<\/a>, where\u2014hopefully\u2014someone will be waiting for you with a cold beer because, as far as I know, there are actually no cold springs there.<\/p>\n

The route is pretty much exactly 100 miles long (actually more like 110mi) and involves about 25,000ft of climbing (actually more like 30,000ft).\u00a0 Perfect for a long summer night. Or a few. Epic trails and views guaranteed.<\/p>\n
