This section of the PCT traverses a landscape of lakes, glaciers, and permanent snowfields, amidst the rugged and eroded mountains of the state's center. The trail skirts the base of Mount Adams, crossing its volcanic fields, lava flows, and avalanche debris. As it approaches the Oregon border, the PCT descends dramatically into the Columbia River Gorge, passing over the Bridge of the Gods.
