Big Four Ice Caves — Thursday, Jun. 4, 2015

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Had family in town and came here for a beautiful walk in the woods. The trail is in fantastic condition and is accessible to so many people. The ice caves, although probably at their smallest in years, were still very stunning. You could hear and see countless waterfalls cascading off Big Four and into the ice caves. You could see deep crevasses and at the posterior portion of the cave it had collapsed. Looking into the ice cave itself, you could see what looked like some boulders that had fallen through. We didn't venture in but did walk off the trail closer to the caves. And of course, as always, there were a few individuals who walked straight in without second thought. Very beautiful day and surprisingly we encountered very few people.
