Looks great, how far in is the park from I5? I've lived in Washington State all my life but I've never made it to the park. This must be the worst time of year.Originally Posted by Heroique

Sea is icing. It happens way too early in this year!
I don't remember seeing this before late december/early january
Circa -15°C, ground glass was frozen up from my first breath... It was cold, but beautiful evening.

The N. Cascades are a favorite place where I hike cross-country, esp. at higher elevations where forests open up, rocks get jagged, and lakes are everywhere.
I’m sure you’ve noticed many people here who explore these mountains & post their shots.
Below is another shot in the N. Cascades (last year) – at a similar high elevation. (While this snowy scene & the earlier shot are in the N. Cascades, neither is within the boundaries of North Cascades Nat’l Park.)
The “N. Cascades” are in B.C. & north-central Washington – an area well north of Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Rainier – and a distinct subset of the larger “Cascade” range which runs down from Canada, through Washington, Oregon (think Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson), and into N. California (think Shasta, Lassen).
BTW, people sometimes confuse the Cascades w/ the Olympics, which is a coastal range on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. The two ranges are very different in climate (esp. during winter), flora, fauna, and geology. For example, the Olympics have rain forests!
From I-5 near Seattle, one can see the N. Cascades rising in the east (and the Olympics to the west). Thanks to the view left & right, it’s difficult to keep your eyes straight ahead on the road! Hwy 2 and Hwy 20 take you into the N. Cascades. Hwy 2 is its southern boundary. Further north, Hwy 20 travels into North Cascades Nat’l Park – which is “in the middle” of the N. Cascades.
A land of savagery … or enchantment – depends on your preparation & point of view.

Nice, Heroique. I like the play between the snow-free patch and the cloud.
I have been on a couple week-long hikes around Glacier Peak -- back in the mid-70's somewhere. Carried around a Rolleiflex with me -- those negs are buried around here somewhere. They are among some of my first B&W negs. I can remember printing some of them in my beginning photo class at college.

Jukka, that's fantastic. Nothing worse than a frosty ground glass. Ever try breathing through a tube?
