Okay, here's a picture. Hopefully it's not too easy.

Kirk, isn't that the glacier that is forming in the Olallie Lakes Scenic Area the past few years near a way trail to an old lookout site?

Yes Don, that photo was taken in the Olallie area. But that snowbank isn't a glacier. It was melted away in September, about a month after the photo was taken. Where the snowbank had been, the flowers were just beginning to bloom, a little later than the other flowers in the neighborhood.

 

I think you know where this photo was taken... go ahead, tell us.

That would be the Ruddy Hill Trail.

It seems everytime I am up there the snow mound is there. I was there in the middle of August this year when I was clearing trails in the area.

When we did our pyramid butte trip in September, it had all melted.  Amazing how fast it can melt....I'm guessing there is snow up there again, though.  The bare ground didn't last too long!
