The new trail work/improvements on this trail are outstanding - thank you to those crews for all the hard work.
During the rainy season - there is significant water/streams on portions of the trail, and a few blow-downs (navigatable and being worked on).
There is no snow accumulation on any part of the talus slope that we could see (~2 miles from TH) at this time - so there is currently no AVY risk in that area. There is some snow on the steep slopes in the cirque at the lake and there is evidence of recent small slides. We decided not to circumvent the lake.
There is packed snow (icy this morning) on the ~last 1/3rd mile before the lake. Our group used microspikes but poles might also be enough.
