Another view of the camp at Lower Bass at river mile 108.5. Christy had been hiking with me, but went ahead down to camp arriving just as this image was being captured.

During late August and early September you are able to fully appreciate all of the hazards relating to glaciers as well as see the underlying ground and its characteristics.
