We camped at Takhlakh Lake and got on the trail at 6:30 am. Beautiful hike through the alpine forest paralleling Adam's Creek. Steady climb to a beautiful meadow. We decided to forgo heading to Divide Camp and took a left on to the Pacific Crest Trail instead. Beautiful views from the boulder field of Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's, and, of course, Mt. Adams. Adam's Creek was flowing pretty swiftly and we didn't feel comfortable crossing so High Camp will have to wait until next time.
Lots of mosquitoes starting out. Bring your bug spray. We only saw one other hiker on the trail.
