Prior to reaching Summerland, ironic name at this time, the toe of Fryingpan Glacier had to be negotiated. Fog and light rain obscured the trail. Fortunately spot paint dabs on exposed boulders helped guide hikers. The ice and snow fields spread from Ohanapecosh Park, north, past Panhandle Gap at this time- mid-September. Hikers, coming along the trail from the north, provided a line of sight for those from the south, and vice versa. Colorful, ground cover plants help brighten the spirits of weary hikers, left.
