Overview
The Stagman Ridge Trail is the alternative approach to the Pacific Crest Trail in accessing two outstanding features on the southwest slope of Mount Adams : Lookingglass Lake and Horseshoe Meadow . It can be done as a day hike or a backpack, with campsites at the lake and the meadow as well as at a few stops along the way. The route described is a lollipop loop using the Graveyard Camp Cutoff (the former route of the Round-the-Mountain Trail). At different points, the trail offers passage through lush meadows, views of Mount Adams itself, and expansive vistas south across the southern Washington Cascades and into Oregon. NOTE: Much of the area of this hike was affected by the 2012 Cascade Creek Fire and the 2024 Williams Mine Fire. Be prepared for downed trees and some stretches that may be difficult to track.
