AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Steven Paul Welter for the Master of Science in Geography presented August 7, 1987. Title: The Geomorphic Character, Age, and Distribution of Rock Glaciers in the Olympic Mountains, Washington APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Rock glaciers are tongue-shaped or lobate masses of rock debris which occur below cliffs and talus in many alpine regions. They are best developed in continental alpine climates where it is cold enough to preserve a core or matrix of ice within the rock mass but insufficiently snowy to produce true glaciers. Previous reports have identified and briefly described several rock glaciers in the Olympic Mountains, Washington {Long 1975a, pp. 39-41; Nebert 1984), but no detailed integrative study has been made regarding the geomorphic character, age, 2 and distribution of these features.

Published monthly and semi-monthly during June by The Mountaineers, P.O. Box 122, Seattle, Washington 98111. Clubroom is at 7191h Pike Street, Seattle. Subscription price monthly Bulletin and Annual, $5.00 per year. EDITORIAL STAFF: Alice Thorn, editor; Loretta Slat­ er, Betty Manning. Material and photographs should be submitted to The Mountaineers, at above address, before Novem­ ber 1, 1969, for consideration. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

    The Brothers Wilderness Air Quality Report Wilderness ID: 241 Wilderness Name: The Brothers Wilderness The Brothers Wilderness Air Quality Report National Forest: Olympic National Forest State: WA Counties: Jefferson General Location: Olympic Peninsula Acres: 16,337 Thursday, May 17, 2012 Page 1 of 4 The Brothers Wilderness Air Quality Report Wilderness ID: 241 Wilderness Name: The Brothers Wilderness Wilderness Categories Information Specific to this Wilderness Year Established 1984 Establishment Notes 99-635, Washington State Wilderness Act of 1984 Designation Clean Air Act Class 2 Administrative Olympic National Forest Unique Landscape Features The Brothers Wilderness is located on the eastern flanks of the Olympic National Forest just South of Buckhorn Wilderness and north of Mt. Skokomish Wilderness. Between moss- and fern-laden banks, the Dosewallips and Hamma Hamma Rivers run cold and clear north and south, respectively, of the borders of The Brothers Wilderness. At 6,866 feet, The Brothers is the highest peak in the area, with a distinct double summit that ranks among the most popular climbs in the Olympics. Through the center of the Wilderness the Duckabush River splashes down a wide and lovely glacier-carved valley shadowed by tall hemlock, fir, and cedar. From the Duckabush the terrain rises steeply into a mazelike network of forested ridges that peak on The Brothers to the south and 5,701-foot Mount Jupiter to the north. In the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the area collects about 80 inches of precipitation each year, and temperatures stay temperate, rarely rising above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and seldom freezing along the river.

  • The Story of Three Olympic Peaks
    THE STORY OF THREE OLYMPIC PEAKS The countless thousands who. from year to year. admire the three prominent peaks at the southeastern end of the Olympic Range would find themselves gazing at the wonderfully beautiful picture with even keener rapture if they but knew a part of the history interlocked with the names these peaks bear-Ellinor. The Brothers. and Constance. There are probably no other geographical features in the Pacific Northwest whose names involve a richer history. A beautiful and tender modesty screened the identity of the personalities behind those names. while a sin­ gle one of the four people survived. The last of the four was gathered to her fathers two years ago. and it is now possible to learn who were the people whose names have become so well known as geographical terms. In the first place let us see when and by whom the names were given to the mountains. The most accessible source is the Pacific Coast Pilot. which says: "When a vessel is going northward. and is clear of Vashon Island. the Jupiter Hills show over Blake Island. with Mount Constance to the southward. "1 A little further on the same work says; "Behind the Jupiter Hills is Mount Constance. 7777 feet elevation; Th~ Brothers. 6920 feet. and Mount Ellinor. estimated at 6500 feet. These great masses. rising so abruptly in wild, rocky peaks. are marks all over Admiralty Inlet and Puget Sound. but seem to overhang the main part of [Hood] Canal. The Brothers. a double peak. is less than seven miles from the water."2 Similar information is given in the reports made aI the time of the surveys.

Their expertise and familiarity with the sub-watersheds within Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 18, and their interest and willingness to share their knowledge, allowed us to complete this report. Two TAGs, one for the Dungeness Watershed (Bell Creek to Bagley Creek), and one for Morse Creek to the Elwha River, were utilized through much of the information collection phase of report development, with several of the members participating in both groups. The TAG participants from both groups are consolidated in the following list: Kevin Bauersfeld Department of Fish and Wildlife Lloyd Beebe Resident, owner of Olympic Game Farm Walt Blendermann Resident, City of Sequim John Cambalik North Olympic Lead Entity Coordinator Randy Cooper Department of Fish and Wildlife Pat Crain Elwha Klallam Tribe Steve Evans Department of Fish and Wildlife Joel Freudenthal Clallam County Dick Goin Resident, City of Port Angeles Mark Haggerty U.S. Forest Service Paul Hansen Clallam Conservation District Donald Haring Conservation Commission Randy Johnson Department of Fish and Wildlife Ray Johnson Department of Fish and Wildlife Eloise Kallin Protect the Peninsula’s Future Mike McHenry Elwha Klallam Tribe Cynthia Nelson Department of Ecology Linda Newberry

Ed will be sharing his photos of snow geese at the Skagit River delta in spring and the autumn oaks of Klickitat County (the best autumn color of Washington), just north of the Columbia River Gorge. The Skagit River delta serves as a wintering ground for hundreds of thousands of snow geese, trumpeter swans, and bald eagles. It's located at the north end of Puget Sound at the mouth of the Skagit River, which collects water from the northern Cascade Mountain Range and carries it to Puget Sound. Top: Snow geese wintering at Fir Island in the Skagit River delta fly in formation close to each other to reduce air resistance.
