9.5 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain • 1 night

We actually camped 2/3 mile below High Camp because of T-storms (little did I know that the forecast of 20% chance of T-storm meant that more than half dozen of lightning storms will roll through between 4pm on Sat and 4am on Sun, good we erred on a safe side and didn't go higher). Got plenty of lightning and some downpour and hail at night. Visited High Camp on Sunday - it's a small tundra plateau at the very foot of Mt. Adams with 360 degree views. I'll definitely come back and camp there on a quiet night, that area is spectacular.
