Heading down into Cascade Canyon. This is Schoolroom Glacier and the proglacial lake that has formed from its runoff. Notice the groove cut in the talus where the lake empties into the valley below. The glacier is named Schoolroom because it exhibits all the textbook signs of a glacier. Unfortunately, the glacier has been retreating for years and is expected to be entirely gone by 2030.
