Mount Adams was named after John Adams, the second President of the United States and is a part of the well-known Presidential Range and the popular, but challenging, Presidential Traverse.

Very nice tour of Appalachia parking. First it goes through the beautiful green flag forest, then in alpine terrain over boulders and boulders. Via ferrata or climbing experiences can be helpful, but are not a must. With the tour personally liked better than the climb of Mount Washington.
