Mountain Memories: Ice Caves

Ice caves in the Paradise Glacier were a popular attraction, drawing crowds even in the 1920-30s. Visits to the caves continued until the early 1970s, when the glacier had melted back so far that the ice caves became too small and dangerous. The Paradise Glacier ice caves no longer exist today.
