On
Saturday May 25 we got up early and headed north to the Ice
Caves Trail near Granite Falls. It had just opened for
the season. How lovely it was at that time in the morning.
Low clouds and the mist hovered eerily in the air. The lush
vegetation was a bazillion shades of green. Tiny colorful
wildflowers lined the trail. Hikers here are very friendly
and greetings abounded. What a great way to start the long
weekend. Here we go. |
On September 27, 1949 a large fire broke out in the main building of the Big Four Resort located here. The Inn's large fireplace [shown here] and some sidewalks were all that remained. [link] |
