On the way back to Woodinville we decided to take a different route than the one we took to get to Winthrop, we drove the North Cascade Highway -- and boy was it gorgeous! It is definitely a must for anyone in the area. It typically closes each year in the October time frame and it doesn't re-open until April (or later). One particular year it seemed like it didn't open until June!! Anyway, it is closed a LONG time, so when summer finally arrives, DRIVE IT! We stopped at the top and Jared snapped some GORGEOUS shots! The sunlight was perfect!
You can barely see her, but Kristina is out walking Indy near the road. They are those two small specs at the middle left of the shot below (away from the truck). That just gives you perspective on how BIG these mountains ARE!
These next shots are from a visitors' center at the top. There are plaques to explain how all of this formed and you can get really close to the edge and see how dramatic it is!
Man, glaciers are amazing! Great job on the photography Jared!
