We begin our pursuit for the Glacial Ice Worm this afternoon at the Byron Glacier trailhead --
-and note it's been five days since bears were last seen on the trail.
It's an easy one mile hike to the glacier face --
-and we are told the snow on the mountain tops is still as deep as fifty feet-
-but the danger of avalanches is now over.
A short hike onto the slippery snowpack --
-revealed large areas of red algae,
looking like dirt upon the snow, but growing as natures food for the Ice Worm.
It's bright and sunny today, not a good day to find them, but we do have several to show you.
We hope you enjoyed this hike as much as we did!

Avalanches at Glacier are "now" or "not" over? Tricky fellow using brochures instead of your own words. Your photo buddy! p.s. keep up the good blogspot
