Trip Report:We parked at lowe's store and started to hike at 10 am on saturday, we got to gray knob at 1 pm, we left our back pack there and got to Adams, the trail was great with only a little frozen spot, the view from adams was great and we could see 2 gliders between Adams and Madison. We got down by Air line to Madison hut which was close, and climbed to Madison summit, once on top we saw the glider very close, one fo the pilot got so close we could see his face. We got back to Gray knob at 6pm and discovered a shelter very crowdy, 21 persons, we ate and got to sleep. There was 2 or 3 persons that was snoring a lot but that didn't alowed me to have a great sleep.
On sunday we woke up at 7, got breakfast and went for Jefferson by Gray knob tr and The cornice which is pretty steepy, we got on top and there was no clouds, we could see Washington very clearly, we got back by Gulfside and edmands col which is one of the great vue of the week end.
When we got to the shelter we took dinner and got back to lowe's strore, we were there at arond 4pm. It was a lot of fun but Crag camp is a better place to sleep I think especially because of the view.
