...with a meadow in the foreground
|
|
|
|
This meadow marks the top of the Celeste Lake Trail. Soon it will join the Iceline Trail that runs along the moraine above this meadow
|
|
|
Seriously twisted mountains!
|
|
|
Part of Emerald Glacier
|
|
|
Hikers start off across the meadow, taking a shortcut to the Iceline Trail

Our first view of Takakkaw Falls from the Iceline Trail!

The first step is a doozie! (And so are the ones after it)

|
|
|
As we hiked along the Iceline Trail, the views of Takakkaw Falls kept changing
|
|
|
|
Here we've gone far enough south that you can see Daly Glacier above Takakkaw Falls
