Shahale Glacier
Looking south from my camp, other tents are perched on top of moraines within the glacier. The small yellow spots, top left, and left, are tents. The light spot on the mound, above, is another tent. The mountains in the background may be a group called The Triplets. Cascade Pass Trail runs left to right at the base of these peaks. The peak far left in the left photo may be Mix-Up Peak. On the map it sits just east of The Triplets. The white spot , in the background, to the right of Mix-Up, is Mt Rainier way down south. The view south from Sahale Glacier is one of the most spectacular scenes I have experienced in any national park. One can see why North Cascades has more glaciers than any national park including Glacier National Park.
