Started the New Year off with a hike, much like a river run. It was pouring most of the time and the trail had running water most of the way. The last 1/4 mile or so is snow/ice covered. Traction devices were helpful for this section. The lake is not totally frozen and there were scant views of the surrounding peaks. Two challenging stream crossings which totally submerged our boots. Great day to test raingear, boots, gloves, etc. We had a great time and definite solitude. Treated ourselves to warm tea and holiday cookies at the car.
