- Snow on trail
Some of the trail was bare, but most was covered in 2-6 inches of snow and there were a number of very muddy patches. I wore waterproof trail shoes and low gaiters and did not come to grief, but would have been happier in hiking boots. The snow was beautiful and, after we reached the Pacific Crest Trail junction, unbroken by any tracks but deer. The day was warm and sunny, so there was plenty of attack snow falling from the trees. We didn't have time to go all the way to the lake -- turned back at the small waterfall about half a mile short.
