Some more views along the trail to the Big Four Ice Caves.. So many peaks! And some helpful (hopefully) information for you: This was a spontaneous adventure for me! (Yay for stepping outside of the box!) Usually I'm an advance planner who takes the time to read the trail description, recent trip reports, weather forecasts (on multiple sites), and the avalanche forecast for the week prior.. etc.. etc.. etc.. 🤓 Since I was limited on time I actually used this page to help me out with quickly locating the links I use to check conditions before heading out to the trailhead!
