Trail sign Sand canyon (the first of 2 we crossed) This is visual illusion - the cornice was only about 1.5 feet thick but quite wide so looking from below added to "bulkiness". Still, we were careful near it Snow patterns We first thought took Little Zigzag Canyon for Big Zigzag. There's no way one can climb out of it here, without crampons and ax in each hand. Also, those cornices are much larger than at Sand Canyon Fog over Portland Snow drift completely covered a small canyon here Blizzard Snow patters
