Ice Cliffs
Timm April 4th, 2010
We hiked up to the cliffs below Little Wolf Peak in early March. Though it was nearly 60 degrees outside, there were still a couple inches of snow on the ground and massive ice formations on the cliffs.
We encountered some of the largest icicles we’ve ever seen. Many were over 10 feet long and too thick to wrap your hand around, and a couple icicles grew to as much as 20 feet long.
Ice flowing down the edge of the cliffs.
Theresa is marveling at this mini-ice-cave.
It’s amazing how snow and ice can survive in the cliff’s shade even when the air temperature is 30 degrees above freezing.
We tried to knock off some of the larger icicles without getting stabbed!
