- Snow on trail
This was an early morning jaunt up to Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Serene. The falls were quite nice. Lots of water coming down. Heavy spray in the observation area. There was one narrow, but steep snow patch to cross. It was a bit sketchy early in the morning when the snow is firm, but should be no problem once the sun softens it up. The rest of the trail is in good condition.
The trail to Lake Serene is also in good conditions. A few places have a little bit of mud. A few snow patches across the trail near the lake, but nothing dangerous. The lake is still almost completely frozen. There is still a fair amount of snow around the lake. The lake is stunning. I highly recommend going all the way to the lake.
I also recommend an early morning start to beat the heat and the crowds. I had the lake to myself at 8:00 AM, but on the way down, I saw many groups on the way up. I bet by noon it's not as serene.
