Hike 8/14 Paradise Glacier
Paradise was in fog upon our arrival
We quickly broke out of the fog
Mrytle Falls
On the Skyline Trail, in and out of the fog
Gaining elevation, leaving the clouds below
On Mazama Ridge at nearly 6000 feet
Wildflowers growing tenaciously in the rocks
The rocky basin, all that's left of the lower Paradise Glacier
Flowers sprouting out of the moist ground in the basin-- probably coltsfoot
The remnant glacier ice had streams underneath that formed small caves
Taking a look under the ice
Mini ice caves
Hiking across snowfields back
Beard tougue
Returning through the flower fields toward Paradise
Three blind mice
Lazy marmot
You see the black bear, right?
Parting shot of the Mountain
