Compared to the Edmonds trip just one week ago, the snow had melted quite a bit and more of the trail was visible, but there was still plenty of snow for some mid-summer “winter fun”. The teachers repeatedly warned the students to stay on the trail, but they were easily lured by the beauty of the vast fields of virgin snow. Sure enough, some students fell through hidden snow bridges to land ankle-deep in rivulets of icy water running under the snow fields, and they would get scolded by park rangers as well, but thankfully no one got injured. We lucked out with another perfectly clear day, and the contrast of the white mountain against the blue sky was striking.
