North Cascades 1968 with the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh
5. The Trek from Bonanza Peak to the Base of Glacier Peak
Part 2 - Day 2

	Deer near dawn at Cloudy Pass.
	A real good look at Glacier Peak from Miners Ridge in the early AM.
	First glimpse of the Suiattle River below Miners Ridge.
	Looking south from the Miners Ridge trail.
	Same view as above, but a little farther along the trail.
	Approaching the end of the high portion of the trail along Miners Ridge.
	Image Lake.
	Tenpeak Mountain from above Image Lake. Below: A better view of Glacier Peak from Miners Ridge. The so-called "rabbit ears" that are the key to our climb of this mountain from the north side can barely be seen in this view, as they are just to the right of the mountain's highest point.

	Along the Miners Ridge trail, descending towards the Suiattle River near dusk.
	Camp just short of the Suiattle River.  Our group split the next morning, with Mike, Ken and I heading up to climb Glacier Peak and the rest heading out to the trailhead where we would be meeting the rest of the party for the next two-week section of our trip in the North Cascades.
	Trees near the Suiattle River.
	Much of the trail down to and along the Suiattle river looked like this; that's about a five-foot-diameter tree in the foreground.
	Suiattle River.  For some reason, I don't remember this crossing ... must have been the cold water.  We're now on our way to Glacier Peak.
