Back on the high plateau again, this time above Washakie Lake. Washakie Glacier in the background on the north side of Big Chief Mountain (or Bair Peak) is typical of others I saw - a small accumulation zone at the top above a large ablation zone, indicating that the glacier is shrinking, withdrawing upslope from its terminal moraine which is visible as the gravelly ridge below center in the photo. This glacier may have already become a static ice patch, no longer actively flowing.
