Mt Adams Rd??

@Patarero - Great to see reports this early!!  I don't know if that is good or not?  Will there be enough snow to last into July?  Got any pics?

bumpity bumpity. Any news?

Someone on TGR is saying she was told by the FS that the South Climb was to "open" Saturday, which I assume just means that the fire closure ceases, and has nothing to do with the condition of the road, but I'm guessing.

I just called to check, the nice lady on the other end of the line informed me that "word must travel fast, it MAY open Saturday", she instructed me to call back tomorrow to verify. She also just "happened" to mention that fee season starts Saturday.

It's amazing how this stuff works.

If the South Climb route were to be open this would imply that FS 8040 is clear and open to the Cold Springs TH? Dumb question... never climbed Adams before and just trying to get a clear picture of the route.

Thanks.

South Climb is OPEN!

Great question. A lot of times earlier in the year it is open but you cant make it all the way to Cold Springs due to snow, or just some big snow banks. Though those with 4WD and raised usually start to "plow" out the road.

That being said I think this route was closed for "other" reasons (the fire right??). I haven't been down there for awhile myself, but really want to hit the ol' SW Chutes this spring.
