An easy one hour hike to reach the North base of Big Four mountain (6,153'). The first half is very easy and starts out on a wide paved trail through a moss covered forest. Then you traverse a wide boardwalk across marshland and water. It then becomes a true trail of dirt, mud, rocks and roots for about 1/2 mile (but there is only minimal elevation gain) and then it opens into an unforested area about 1/4 mile from the base of the mountain. At first the mini glacier appears small until you see the people standing close to the Ice Caves and notice that they are really small in comparison to the Ice and Snow Pack. Bring a lunch and plan to explore for a while but don't venture into the caves. They can be dangerous. Just enjoy the view and the nice cold air as it blows out of the caves. (Bring the kids and camera if you got 'em.)
