Photo @materas // Hiking near White Rock Lakes beneath Dome Peak in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. This lake is deep in the rugged wilderness of the North Cascades and reached only by a multi-day 35 mile mountaineering trip. The North Cascades are sometimes called the American Alps and for a good reason. They are rugged, remote and heavily glaciated. Follow me @materas for more images like this from the the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
