Timberline Hike - July 2004

Zig Zag and Paradise Park
Part of the Pacific Crest Trail. Around 6000 feet.

The glacier shown although small and shrinking every year, is still impresive. A torrent of water even at the end of July rushes underneath.

The photo of the collapsed 'roof' of the glacier is very close to the trail. On the way to Paradise Park we decided it was not safe to cross the glacier directly so we went downstream and forded the water. It was a scramble back to rejoin the trail. On the return journey the decision was made to cross the glacier, very carefully. The rushing water could be heard through holes in the ice beneath our feet.
