Makes me wonder if that is named after the same Wickersham that was an early explorer in the southern part of the Olympic Mts.

How cool would it have been to be able to roam where nobody had been before, even the Indians were afraid to roam into some of these places...


The Denali Wickersham was Judge James Wickerham who, in 1903 with two partners, made the second attempt to climb Denali via the now named "Wickersham Wall." They reached a point at approximately 10,000' on the north aspect of the mountain, stopping a mere 13,320' from the top...almost made it! Joking aside, in those days, just getting to the glaciers was a multi-month endeavor and their effort was fantastic for the time and setting.

The foothills are beautiful, especially this time of year, but the more mountainous parts of the park will always be my favorite.
