(sorry lost my post, [s]will try tomorrow[/s])

At least pics are here.

Just linking to my NWHiker

You don't have to write when your photo's look like that! :)

A few pics here won't hurt ;)

Near Meany Crest:


Steamboat Prow (Inter Glacier):


Whitman Crest (stopped ~8500'):

I'd be drooling over interglacier....unless the approach sucks?  does the trail get you close enough to the snow?  but those pics of steamboat have me wondering about that long looking decent. 

how awesome would it be for a Lodge/Snocat operation in the White River area?  There are only two major slide paths that could cause somewhat regular concern.  just makes me wish a NP-Citizen-Nonprofit situation was more possible with the National Parks. 


I'd imagine the crevasse situation is a little sketchy on the Interglacier right now
