Washington Reopening Deadly Ice Caves Trail

Mar 6, 2016
Daily

There are plenty of signs along the Big Four Ice Caves trail in Washington, near Seattle, but that doesn’t stop people from venturing too close — or going inside. And that decision has all too often turned deadly, with one person dying and five injured last summer when part of the caves collapsed.

The spectacular natural phenomenon sitting at the base of the massive, sheer Big Four Mountain was closed to visitors until recently. Authorities will reopen the trail to a viewpoint for the caves this spring; it’s the same trail many depart, ignoring warning signs and put themselves in danger for a close-up look. Avalanches and collapses have killed four people here since 1998.

There will be additional warning signs when the trail reopens, and they’ll include additional languages besides English and will generally stand out more.

Many — including prominent outdoors publication Outside magazine — argued for the trail’s permanent closure, given the fact people just can’t seem to resist the caves’ otherworldly beauty.

The Salil Hotel Riverside Review

There are luxury hotels throughout Bangkok that deftly combine minimalist style, decorative accents, historic Thai iconography and luxuriant amenities. While Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok, opened in late 2023, falls into the 5-star boutique hotel category, it is, by design, not a run-of-the-mill luxury property. The lobby makes an immediate impression, while different public spaces, rooms and suites immerse one into an ambiance rooted in Thai history, all while capturing a Bangkok that is a touch irreverent and forward-looking.
