It was a chilly, rainy day, but we wanted to get up into the mountains, anyway. We found snow on the trail within a few hundred feet. The snow is wet and compacts easily so we were able to keep going, nonetheless. Snowshoes were not required. It looked like several others had taken a detour into the old mine claim area, and turned around. Not knowing the hike, we did the same thing, thinking it was the spur to the middle falls. Snow gets very deep in that direction. When we did find the spur trail, we followed it out a ways, but found it blocked by deep avalanche debris. It was cold and wet enough that we didn't continue on past the falls. The snow, as mentioned, is wet, and there is meltwater under the snow. Unless you have waterproof shoes, your feet will be soaked in short order. It was worth it though! The blowdowns were minor, and all passable.
