After the torturous road trip up, the glacier was unbelievable. I have never been really interested in glaciers, but I see now their humbling intensity. Our first glimpse of the glacier, photo 1 from the window, was what they call a toe, or part of it between ridges of the mountain. When we reached the summit, photo 2, Ken got a panoramic view with the video camera to show the extensions of the glacier. Notice the clouds across from him below the mountain top. and the glacier below. It's good Ken's arms are so long. There was no one to take our photo together, but we did get it with the glacier curving behind us. It has intense aqua and blue colors streaking through it. Ken found one small dome at the summit and his expression says it all. The view was incredible. Now, thanks to Ken, there is one large snow angel left along the roadside. Who knows how long it will last.
