Mount Jefferson, Adams, and Madison Trail

This trek goes through three Presidential Range peaks. This is the easiest and shortest way to climb the Northern Presidential Peaks. The Caps Ridge Trail goes up Mt. Jefferson is steep and requires a few scrambles over ledges on the way up that have some exposure so it is not for the faint hearted. The 2.5 mile trail will take you up onto the top of Jefferson and then onto the ridge which leads to Madison and Back. The entire route is above the treeline so make sure the weather is good. Mt. is quoted as Jefferson (5,715'). Adams is 5,798'. "Madison 5,363' You can either run over to the top of Mt. or walk over. If you would like, you can check out the AMC hut located between the peaks.
