About a month ago I hiked the Carbon Glacier Trail https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8035526 for my last hike in Washington before I move to North Carolina where I am writing this topic. Let me know what you think about that decision for my last hike at that time of year. When we made it to the glacier we couldn’t go into the snout because there were too many rocks falling down. The photo above shows how close we got. I was slightly disappointed but honestly still very happy about what hike we did minus going into the glacier snout. I did some researching and I managed to find some photos of someone who actually did go into the snout, enjoy.

Well I guess I'll say it; you think this is cool (because you've posted about it twice here and on Facebook) but it was extremely dangerous, not cool.

Good decision to not go in.
Prior to '70s there were park service trail markers to "The Paradise Ice Caves" which were glacial caves underneath the Paradise Glacier where the Paradise River emerged. But after a number of ice cave collapse events, the park service closed the caves.

Very high probability of rockfall near the glacier snout!

Folks there's a way to express concerns while remaining constructive. I've edited/removed a few comments that fell beyond the TR comment policy threshold.
I recall climbing White Chuck and peering down on the unnamed glacier on the north side of the peak. As I was snapping a few pictures ice fall roared down near the snout of the glacier, providing a reminder that while beautiful, it was nothing to mess around with.
