Thompson Falls
Thompson Falls - View of The Great Gulf From Wildcat
|
|
This view into the Great Gulf shows a patch of ice and snow remaining from the winter. That section of the Gulf is so well shaded that the temperature remains low enough to sustain the snow through summer. In a way, this reflects the way in which the Gulf formed, since it was created by the action of glaciers tens of thousands of years ago. This image was taken from the parking lot at the Wildcat Ski Area, near the beginning of the Thompson Falls Trail.
