This is iceberg lake, my favorite mountain lake this week. The hike to get here was beautiful (10 mile round trip day today). There are floating bergs in the lake. One picture in this set shows a young boy who made it out onto the ice. The last picture in this set shows a patch of snow on the mountain in the shape of a cross. We sat and watched a CRAZY guy using crampons and ice ax to climb that snow bank 3/4 of the way up so he could ski down it. It took him an hour and a half to make the climb. Hoards of people stayed to watch. Finally he strapped a big American Flag on his back and successfully skied down to the base of the lake with many people clapping and cheering. Really an exciting event on top of the great scenery!
