These were the pictures hiking up to the last ice of the summer on my Bryant Lake hike, which I had part 1 photos here.

This first photo is the wide view of the last remaining ice on this hike. For scale, you can see my hiking buddy in the bottom right, its a LOT larger than it first seems.

So, here I was able to crawl in the awesome structure underneath which has all melted away. You can see the roof now dripping away inside. it probably only has another day or two left at these temperatures to completely melt away.
What the? how the heck did yiou get inside that giant snow bank? haha
Ha, lettme outta here! Actually, I had to be careful here since if I touched the snow too hard, it was possible to all collapse on me since the roof was only 6-12 inches thick still.
From inside, with some HDR shots again, you can see the cool melt holes that are giving an awesome window view to the mountain side. Pretty Epic spot, was VERY cool and refreshing in here as well.
Another cool HDR with the sun in contrast on the rock's wall with the ice still as well.
Here you can see many of the water streams and drops coming down from each of the cones. 10 minutes under here and I was soaked and refreshed nice and cold for the hike out.
So, time to crawl out and head home. Pretty cool place (in more than one way) which was totally unexpected to find, which is often the most memorable part of a mountain adventure.
As usual, please follow and I'd love to hear your comments
