For many years, the Cascades didn’t have glaciers, or so said the geologists. They weren’t referring to a time long ago when the mountains were bare of ice; the men of science simply didn’t think that glaciers were here. Nor did they think there were any glaciers in the United States, outside of Alaska, at least until 1871, when geologist Clarence King declared their discovery in the mountains of the Pacific Coast. Apparently, no one had ever noticed “the existence of active glaciers” until King and his men started to look for them.
My enjoyment of this article has been immense. Particularly impressive is the range and depth of research in its formation. I do hope you bring us more and more about glaciers.

Dan, Thanks. There will be more in my book but you got to wait until 2026. Hope all is well with you. David
Were they making ice cream out of the glacier?
Apparently not. Their loss!
