Cow grazing the lonely wheatfields Magnifence near Goldendale, Washington

Image Title: "Mt. Adams, Lonely Cow"

Mt. Adams is the Northwest's second tallest peak at 12,276 feet, and is widely visible from many parts of Northern Oregon, both east and west of the Cascades. In the old days, suphur mining was done on the summit, and there was a trail up the south side that pack animals used to haul supplies. A Forest Service lookout cabin also existed for many years on the summit-- to my knowledge, it was the very highest lookout in all of the Northwest. Someone who visited it in 1943 reported that at that time it was "a beautiful cabin and probably saved a few lives."
