4 foot of ice here 100 years ago



It was raining, all day long. I felt like a hike so I went to Mendenhall. I saw a bear but no camera. I also took a new hike that was easy and great. I saw momma and baby bear tracks on the hike. I need to go back and get pictures because I did not take a camera this time. I did not want to get it wet.

This picture shows where the ice from Mendenhall was 100 years ago. It was 4 feet thick this poinr. It is about 5 miles away from the Glacier.

This glacier is only the front end that is seen from Juneau. It goes back 12-15 miles actually.
