The trail was totally dried and opened up to the 4th July campsite. There were a few logs blocking the trail, but I easily bypassed them. From the 4th July campsite to the 4th July pass, the trail was covered with snow after 0.5 mile from the campsite, so that I lost the trail after that point and had to return. The view of the Boston pass was very rewarding, and weather conditions were perfect, with no winds and temperatures up to the 70's, even at the 4th July campsite.
