Wallace Lake, Wallace Falls

Did the loop going up the usual trail to Upper Wallace Falls. To this point the trail was great. Then followed the blue diamond scramble path to the upper road, just a couple hundred yards above the Upper lookout. The distance on the road from there to Wallace Lake is about 2.5 miles. At first it was clear, then soupy, then about 12-18 inches of snow all the way to the lake. Following the DNR road down was snowy/soupy until the beginning of the Greg Ball trail, which was in good shape and a great addition to this loop. By the time we got down the parking lot was overflowing and people were parking on the road outside the park. Time 5 hours. Distance about 10 miles. Elev. gain/loss 1500 feet.
