Hiked from the Eight Mile Lake trailhead almost to Lake Caroline. Many wildflowers were out and the views of the Enchantments from the high point of the hike were great. The trail is in decent shape, although an hour or two with some loppers would help a lot! After the high point, there were snow patches, and then there was quite a bit of snow on the last 1/4 mile or so down to the lake, so we didn't make it all the way to the lake. The lake is still 90% frozen and surrounded by snow. It looks pretty snowy going up to Windy Pass as well. Instead, we had a nice lunch overlooking the lake, and then had dessert back near the top of the ridge overlooking the Enchantments. A beautiful hike.
