Well done...Very nice write up and pictures. The Davis and Weber County peaks don't seem to draw anywhere near the attention the peaks down south get, but there are some very nice peaks and routes up this way. The waterfall up Adams is probably one of the prettiest in all the Wasatch.

Re: Well done...Thanks! It took me a couple of years to get some pictures. I agree with you about the peaks up here. Not much attention. That's kinda nice though. I am hoping to get a page up on Lewis Peak sometime this year.

Trailhead elevation?Do you have an accurate idea of the trailhead elevation? Would appreciate it very much. Thanks. The route looks to be a "fun" one.

Re: Trailhead elevation?TH elevation is about 4,825'. First half mile is nice, but then gets steep. It is fun! Enjoy!

MapHere is a map of the route. From the parking lot (point b) to Adam's Cabin (point c) to the Thurston Peak (point A). Adjust the zoom to see the way points.
Trail climbs from 4825 feet to 9706 feet in what looks like about 6ish miles. So it's steep!
