Arrived at the trailhead at 8:30. Got lucky and had a sunny day! Only encountered one couple going up the trail. They had heavy packs and were taking their time. Got to the lake around 11:00. Nobody else there as far as I could see.
Note: The water level was very low in the lake, revealing some wonderful tree stumps and snags. And there was a narrow isthmus of exposed rock that (almost) connected the east and west sides of the lake.
Stayed for a couple of hours, took many many pictures! Seeing Aasgard pass so near was tempting, but common sense prevailed and I headed back down. By the time I left, a few other people had arrived at the lake, and there were many more on their way up.
