Elwha snowfinger

The Elwha Snowfinger is a perennial snow field located near the Dodwell Rixon Pass, which is 1452m/4763ft[1] high and separates the watersheds of the Elwha and Queets rivers in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State in the USA. This snowfield is created by continuous winter and spring avalanches into the upper pass area. It is the source of the Elwha River.
