takes a while to drive here. hike is very easy, probably too easy. Inexperienced hikers come here constantly and don't heed the warnings. These are not caves, just melting snow above runoff creeks. They constantly collapse and people are killed often. You can see the entire thing from the mouth without actually entering. I know people think it won't happen while they venture in for a moment, but it does.

Big four ice caves was a fun day trip for small children, couples, novice hikers, etc. It takes roughly a mile to get to the ice caves. Nicely maintained trail As well. No need for crampons based on the current snow fall. It was more bare than we expected with snow already melting in the area. A bit disappointed with how many people were climbing on the ice or touching it in general more aggressively than they should have, but people helped correct those individuals as well. Overall a fun experience I would recommend to anyone.

I went with my friend when it first started snowing last week and it was gorgeous! The hike itself is short and easy with great views along the way. Definitely don't recommend going into the caves especially during the winter time - when I went, it looked like there was a ton of snow that collapsed inside and sometimes we could hear the rumbles of an avalanche.

Being such a quick and easy hike, this is a must for anyone in the Seattle area. With well-maintained trails, its hard not to enjoy this hike and the ice caves themselves. I brought my parents here when they came up for the weekend to give them a taste of the Pacific Northwest and this was the perfect hike. Highly recommend it!

One of the best short hikes to rewarding views! Just be careful in the caves as they do collapse - I witnessed a caving in during my visit last year.

I enjoyed the view on the easy hike to the caves and while I understood the warnings about entering I had to do it anyways. It's pretty surreal to walk inside with a beautiful waterfall near the back of it. I definitely recommend this hike with- with some caution of course!

This is an amazing spectacle and an easy hike to get there. But be warned, do not enter the ice cave there have been tragic deaths of some who have ventured inside. The ice cave is made from build up of avalanche snow over the winter and the cave develops as water melts and the wind blows into the rock face. The cave can collapse or fail at any time. Be safe and admire from a safe distance.

Great to look at but be super careful before venturing inside. 1 person died and 4 were injured in a collapse just yesterday. Don't go inside if there is fresh snow on the mountain because of avy danger or when it is warm and/or direct sunlight because the cave is susceptible to collapse.

The cave was unreal. There are signs warning that it is dangerous to enter, but the temptation is hard to resist and the sights were worth it.
