While I was visiting Washington recently I had the opportunity to visit the ice caves. The caves are formed when the melted snow runs off of the mountains and runs under the snow field at the base of the mountain. The caves were just starting to form for the season as the temperatures were rising. The ice caves are at the end of a well marked hiking trail and are located about a mile or so off of the main road. There is a nice parking lot at the head of the trail. It proved to be a popular hike the day we were there. A lot of people were playing in the snow field that day. It's definitely something to see and a nice hike in the refreshing outdoor air, too.
