Located in the Randle Ranger District. The trail contours around the mountain above timberline, passing through wildflower meadows and the rocky chaos of lava flows. Part of the trail lies within the Mount Adams Wilderness and part within the Yakima Indian Reservation. The loop uses three trails, Snowgrass, Lily Basin, and Berry Patch. It begins seventeen miles south of Packwood via Johnston Creek Road 21 and Forest Road 2150.
Wildflowers are abundant in mid-summer and views of peaks are outstanding.
