9 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Heard the trail was doable so headed out in a light rain. Pleny of snow, but used only microspikes. Lost trail in spots, but always picked it up again. Final push to the lake was a bit iffy. Weather was clouding up, rain picking up, and snow was like elmer's glue so I turned around just before the lake. Probably just as well since the rain was really picking up on the return. Still, a day out in God's country beats a day in the office.
