Packwood Glacier From Pacific Crest Trail, Sept. 1977

This is the one spot on the Pacific Crest Trail were the route actually crossed a living Glacier and the risk of sliding into a crevasse was totally real. In fact in 1978, the forest service " Blasted " a trail/route 500 feet above this spot. But today this Glacier Is nearly gone,,,

Interesting image and unfortunate update on its current condition. Global warming or just natural causes?
