Ptarmigan Ridge — Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

A trail to get up close and personal with the glaciers on Mt Baker... Mid week is a little quieter, week ends, folks big and little mosey out to the first view point ( the cutoff for the Chain Lakes Loop), and further out along the ridge. Colors are starting to fade, but still glow in the late afternoon light. 14 Goat lakes are still mostly ice covered.... and the goats keep to their own space, at a distance... Distant ridge lines to gawk at at in every direction....
