The "seasonal glow" along the trail to the Big Four Ice Caves was strong - Everything was lit up with glittering light and snowy crystals ✨️ Big views, and tiny details - it was all seen through the veil of magic! 🪄 I'd never been here, and I was so happy to finally see it under a layer (or 3) of fluffy white snow ❄️ From WTA: "While this is a popular location to snowshoe in wintertime, there is high risk in winter from avalanches off the mountain that feeds these caves. Once off the road and on the true trail, keep to the main trail, and do not venture onto the snowfields at the end of the route." ➡️ We brought snowshoes, but didn't need them - Boots worked well on the established trail Please always Leave No Trace ❄️Plan ahead and prepare ❄️Travel and camp on durable surfaces ❄️Dispose of waste properly ❄️Leave what you find ❄️Minimize campfire impacts (Be careful with fire) ❄️Respect wildlife ❄️Be considerate of other visitors . . . . . . #pnwhappyhikers #happyhikers #diversifyyourfeed #winterwonderland #happypeoplehike #pnwhikers #pnwadventures #snowshoeing #cascadiaexplored #whyihike #pnwexplored #diversifyoutdoors #winterlandscape #snowyscene #optoutside #forceofnature #hikelife #hikewashington #pnwoutdoors #pnwmountains #snow #mountainviews #hikemore #winteradventures #explorewashington #hikeoftheweek #washingtontrails #snowday #washingtonexplored
