On Thursday we spent the later part of the afternoon hiking to the Ice Caves in the Cascade mountains. It was a short and easy hike each way (2 miles total) - which was perfect because we began at 6pm!
Sooooooo beautiful! We love mountains like these!
Meredith was a trooper and fell asleep in the sling on the way back. We were glad we brought a blanket to bundle her into because we were surprised by how cool the breeze was once we reached the ice and snow!
We learned that the cold air coming down the side of the mountain with the water freezes and then combined with the warm air on the ground, ice caves form. You can go into the caves, but it's quite dangerous because you never know when they may collapse! (we didn't get too close!)
