Glacier Basin
Glacier Basin is situated above the mining ghost town of Monte Cristo in the North Cascades. A short, but steep route retraces miners' boot prints to this mineral-rich, sub alpine area in the shadow of grand peaks.
A climb up the back of Glacier Basin yields views of the surrounding summits.
