Mount Adams Wilderness, Nature reserve in Yakima County, United States.
Mount Adams Wilderness spans 47,708 acres of diverse terrain, including subalpine forests, alpine meadows, and volcanic landscapes within Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
The wilderness area received federal protection in 1964, marking a significant step in preserving natural landscapes within the Cascade mountain range.
Native American tribes, particularly the Yakama Nation, maintain deep connections to Mount Adams through traditional practices and sacred ceremonies.
Visitors need permits for camping activities and should prepare for variable weather conditions, as snow covers many trails until early summer.
The area contains 21 miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and features Potato Hill, which serves as a weather monitoring station.
