Big Four Ice Caves, Big Four Ice Caves Snowshoe — Saturday, Feb. 24, 2001

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

My dog and I chose a nice day to go here. The road has about 3 inches of fresh snow but was otherwise clear. The parking lot is closed so you can only park on the highway. There were about 5 - 6 major blowdowns along the way which were easy to navigate. Although I wore snowshoes, they really weren't necessary. Except for a few slushy/muddy spots, the trail is completely covered in snow as are the caves.
