Seattle Day Hike｜Ice Cave Adventure

This weekend, we visited the legendary **Ice Cave**—totally worth the early wake-up call! The hike itself is **moderate**: ~1.1 miles (1.8 km) one-way (~2.2 miles round trip), mostly flat *(...or so we thought)*. We took a detour that turned into a **near-vertical goat trail**, but the **second ice cave** made it all worthwhile! The trail winds through **lush forests and creeks**, with boardwalks and gravel sections—air so fresh it feels filtered. We even picnicked by the cave and waterfall. Pure bliss! 😎 **💥 The Highlight? WILD BLUEBERRIES!** We stumbled upon **tiny wild blueberries** along the trail—**sweet, juicy, and FREE for picking!** Eating them straight from the bushes was a core memory. 😂 **🧊 The Ice Cave Delivered** **Majestic and icy-cool**—standing at the entrance felt like **natural AC**. But **DO NOT enter the cave** (dripping water + melting ice = danger!). Admire safely from the wooden railings. **👟 Pro Tips** - **Wear grippy shoes** (rocks + streams = no flip-flops!). - **Pack snacks & water**—post-hike creek-side munching is elite. - **Blueberry season = July-August!** ⚠️ **SAFETY FIRST:** - **Never enter the cave** (collapses have happened!). - **$5/cash parking fee** (free with Discover Pass). - **Restrooms scarce**—go at the visitor center first. - **Layer up!** 80°F (27°C) outside, ~50°F (10°C) near the cave. - **No cell service**—download maps offline or bring walkie-talkies. **The perfect summer weekend escape!** 💙 #IceCaveHike #SeattleHiking #WildBlueberries #DayTrip #GlacierViews #NatureTherapy #HikingWithDogs #UWLife #ExplorePNW
