Contact Nate if you have any questions.

FR 4065 will be a bit rough and there will be one or two narrow sections due to washouts but it should be passable even without a high clearance vehicle.
Northwest Forest Passes are required to park at the trail head.

From recent trip reports it looks like we will be on snow once we near the lake.
Please pack your boots, crampons or spikes (just in case), ice axe, helmet, 10 essentials, and enough food and water to last a long day.

Keep an eye on the weather and pack accordingly:
