Hoping to get out tomorrow for a dayhike of Jefferson & Adams... Considering the current conditions, anyone have a route recommendation? I was thinking Lowe's path etc... Anyone been up there lately to know the current snow conditions? Thanks J

I'd vote for Valley Way for less ice and less exposure, but others like Lowe's. Both are pretty good.

David Metsky said:The Castle trail goes up Jefferson via the Castilated Ridge, not Adams. It's a great winter hike, but it would require an extra peak, plus a trip through Edmands Col which can be extremely windy. It's also no broken out nearly as much as the others mentioned. But it is a great winter trip, and a fine way to climb Jefferson. The Castles are spectacular in winter.
The Bowman trailhead also is the start of the Israel Ridge trail, which is a possible route up Adams. But it isn't one of the first to be broken out and can present some route finding issues.
