For the 5 years I have lived up here, I had heard of the Purgatory Chasm. I read about it. I have experienced it. What a fun night. That, a picnic dinner, and the boys playing on the playground.
This looks like a family favorite of ours to do.We were amazed at how one minute it was warm and humid and the next we would look down into a cavity of the chasm and see snow that had not melted yet. Or the fact that it would be cool and moist then suddenly you could feel the warmth and humidity of the normal air temperature. We loved the moss, lichen, trees that were hallowed out and holding water in them just like a little well and ferns.
