Mount Adams South Climb (Lunch Counter Approach)

The trail follows switchbacks in the woods for about a mile. After 1.5 miles, the route splits in one straight and steep trail or another a little bit less steep. Both trails join again at the Lunch Counter (base camp for people spending the night on the mountain). After that, there are no trail or trail markers, so just follow the bootpack (if it's available) to Pikers Peak.Pikers Peak is a false summit that can take a few hours to reach from the Lunch Counter. Before Pikers Peak, you might find a rock formation on the right where you would like to stop to get some snacks and be out of the wind. After reaching Pikers Peak, you'll see the summit less than two miles away. Continue following the bootpack to the summit and your reward!
