NF-2329

NF-2329 begins near the Takhlakh Lake Campground, and skirts along the northwest side of the Mount Adams Wilderness area. There are several hiking trailheads that lead into the wilderness area, including Divide Camp, Killen Creek, and the Muddy Meadows Trailhead at Waypoint 13. From the very beginning, Muddy Meadows has amazing views of Mount Adams, and continues on into the wilderness, crossing with the Pacific Crest Trail. These meadows were used by Native Americans during summers as berry camps and were still used in the 1800s. Besides hiking, NF-2329 has many campsites available; though some are exclusively horse camps. At Waypoint 9, you can turn to Horseshoe Lake, which has a designated campground, and a beautiful view of Mount Adams to the south. This is a longer trail that offers lots to see, and many places to spend a night or two relaxing. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route.
