The bridge over Denny Creek is gone so caution is needed in spring/early summer crossing it. Water level now is so low it was easy to cross. Hiked to Melakwa Lake, then continued on up to Melakwa Pass, then down into Chair Peak Lake, and around for views of Snow Lake. There is a good path thru the middle of the large grove of trees en route from the Melakwa Lake to the pass. In the past I had gone around it. Still some snow down in Chair Peak Lake. Do not descend down into this w/o poles as the return is quite steep. The entire trip was 8 hours round trip.
