Road Trip: Ice Cave II

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 23:59:59 -800

Jason insisted that we try to reach the ice cave that we'd tried to get to
back in February. Like last time, the cave is accessible by driving out to
Hood River, crossing the bridge (a9050536 - 38) into Washington, driving a mile
west on WA-14 (a9050539) and then turning north on WA-141 (a9050541 - 44).
The best part? I had the wonderful opportunity to capture the icy slopes of
Mt. Adams right as the sun was going down (a9050545 - 46, 48)! This time,
however, the trip was much easier, as we didn't have to drive at an absurdly
low speed to avoid plowing into a snow bank. We quickly reached the
intersection of Forest Road 011 and the road into Gifford Pinchot NF at the
end of WA-141 and stopped for pictures (a9050551 - 60).
