The trail should be snow-free by then. Updated trail conditions will be sent out via Hello Hiker email. This trail may include creeks crossing. The last part of the hike is a steep descent to the lake with roots and rocks that may be slippery. Please bring poles.
I am conditioning for bigger summer hikes and backpack trips. So I will be carrying a weighted pack.
If you have not done similar elevation or mileage, you may want to skip this one as we will be hiking at an ongoing pace of 2 mph.
