1. The Wildflowers
The mountainsides and valleys are fragrant with wild roses, bear grass, and wild lupines. Breathe deeply of the crisp mountain air, and catch a whif of the roses while you're at it.
2. Iridescent Glacier-Green Waters
Finely ground silt in glaciers flows into rivers and lakes as the ice melts and blends into the water supply. The water is often so clear it is difficult to guess the depth of the water. Oh yeah, it's pretty chilly too!
3. Ancient Glaciers - Giant Ice Formations that Flow
Great snow drifts under pressure eventually turn to ice and re-crystallize forming powerful glaciers. These glaciers move consistently, undaunted by thousands of feet of rock that lie in their way. They cut almost impossible valleys and canyons, leaving large lakes with mountains that seem to grow right out of the water. Rock layers are exposed as the glacier erodes the formations, slicing the earth and baring the layers that formed it.
