Big Four Ice Caves — Sunday, Apr. 22, 2001

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

There is minimal ice and snow on the trail. A few blowdowns just before the bridge but extensive work has already been done there. A few other minor blowdowns and solid snow only at the very end. Not as many avalanches coming down as expected, but a calm afternoon typical of the Casacades and a great hike. As usual during the week, the mountain loop highway was practically deserted.
