Description

Hiking in a place where only 15 years ago was covered in ice. The last time of visited this area near where I grew up the glacier hid these unique rock formations. As the glacier receded rock that has been hidden for thousands of years is now exposed to the light of day and the eyes of modern humans. In all honestly there have only been a handful of people to have seen these formations since they emerged from the ice. In 2009 my brother placed a geocache on the trail leading into this area and the ice still covered the area where these images were taken. The following year the access road was washed out. For 10 years it remained inaccessible before logging operations up the valley repaired it. A claim on his cache in 2019 alluded to the area seeing human visitors once again. In Aug 2022 we made our way in and hiked as close to the cliff below the ice as we could. It was astonishing to see such diversity of rock in such a localized area. All images were taken within an hour and 15 minute timespan and maybe a couple hundred meter apart.
