Blue Glacier at Mt Olympus

You know when you've hit the trail terminus. That is when you approach a final ridge to discover that all that remains is pure glacier. The Blue Glacier snakes under and around Mt Olympus, in the very heart of Olympic National Park. The only other hiker that day was Mike, a volunteer carrying a heavy pack containing among other things a large coffee with nails to repair a tin research hut on the other side of the glacier.
