10.5 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •

Late summer hike up to unknown (at the time) lake at 7505' on North side of Mt Adams. Killer views almost all day, several groups on the way out from Labor Day backpacks, almost no one above PCT (Except fellow ph'er "Spitfire" and husband). Found a deserted campfire ring still smoking in the meadows...ugh. We saw 20+ goats at various times on the slopes around "High Camp". Had lunch at Google's Equestria Lake, shown on my USFS map as "7505". I remember reading about some discussion on it's actual designation. Regardless, you couldn't ask for better views of the massive Adams Glacier.

Nice views! Are there any campsites or flat ground near Equestria Lake?
