Good loop over Madison, Adams and Jefferson??

[chas]

Keeping in mind current conditions, what would be a good set of trails to tackle these 3 peaks from the Randolph side? I would prefer to arrive at the Madison hut area first and do Madison, Adams and Jefferson in that order. I'm not interested in the most awesome trails, just the most sane ones (possibly with a view?). I don't mind steep on the way up but would rather take it easy coming back down. Would also be nice to have a bail-out plan from Adams in case the energy isn't there later in the day to do Jefferson.

Thanks for your help,
Chas.

Here's a recent thread covering this very subject. There should be a lot of good information in there.

Possible variation to your plan

Check this trip report by Chip of a trip in this area .... doesn't hit Madison but route is definitely more interesting to do. Route is 11.0 miles or so.

Thanks, that does sound like a more interesting trip but if I spot anything it's going to be a bicycle and not a car not sure if I'll be up for a bike ride after this trip.
