Headed out to Packwood lake Friday afternoon for a weekend trip with my dog. Road to the parking lot is perfect. Beautiful the entire weekend, almost no clouds and 70's! The hike in was superb, great views of the valley and the mountain. Took the lower trail to the lake. About a third of the way in there was snow, but it was avoidable. 2/3 of the way in you have to hike through it, but it isn't bad. I sank, but not deep. The lake is gorgeous as always. Only a couple other groups made the trek that I saw all weekend. The hike out was just as awesome as the hike in, and the snow is melting fast.
