About

This site was burned over in the Cascade Creek Fire of 2012. Several primitive camp sites are available, some along Morrison Creek. The site serves as a trailhead to the Shorthorn Trail #16 which enters Mount Adams Wilderness and is within 3 miles of the popular South Climb #183 Trail and route up Mt Adams. A wilderness permit is required to enter the wilderness. Permits are free and self-issued at the trailhead. Motorized and mechanized uses are not allowed in Wilderness areas. Road access is rough and not recommended for trailers or motor homes.
