Our ranger-led hike through snow to an overlook of the Nisqually Glacier covered the geology of the region, the activity of the volcano, and glaciers. The most striking of all was seeing the terminus of the glacier: a gray wall that appeared to be rock with water trickling out the bottom. Rather horrific. Best of all may have been his lesson on how to walk in snow: when going down hill, kick your heel in. When going uphill, jab your toe in hard enough to kick up a spray of snow.

Brrr. I'm cold just looking at this picture. It does look like rock, but it's ice? Wow.
So no chance of breaking off a chunk and seeing what it tastes like? I've just gotten a chance to check out your blog today - the pictures are amazing!!
Nic.
