First mile was clear of snow. Up to 4' deep 4 miles in. Sun warmed up path and it was easy to sink it. Snowshoes are a good idea. A couple of streams to jump over make it fun and challenging.

Nice day for a hike. Granite lake is off of exit 34 on I-90, same parking lot as mailbox peak. Not much of a trail.... more like a road the whole way up to the lake. The road got somewhat steep after the creek crossing. About 10 miles roundtrip and there are still patches of snow towards the end of the road at around 3100 feet. The lake is nice, but to get to it requires bush wracking. Some mountain views on the way up, no wildlife besides a group of naked men we encountered on the way up.
