Mt.
Adams |
|
Mt Adams was called Pah-to, son of the Great Spirit, by the Indians of the area. It is
located south of Mt Rainier and east of Mt St. Helens. The accepted first
ascent of the mountains was made in late summer, 1854, by three members of a
military road work party that were working on the Naches Pass route. They
reportedly climbed via the North Ridge. Between 1929 and 1931 The Glacier
Mining Company was actively working a sulfur claim at the summit. |
