I was thinking of my report as I was coming down from the lake with mud-soaked dogs, gaitors, and boots and thought this is not the time to come up here with pristine, white tennis shoes. Not five minutes later, up comes a family in pristine, white tennis shoes.
Although there was no need for traction devices, the trail is full of mud from the late thaw and a bit of slippery snow toward the top. The dogs and I did not venture around the lake as the face still looks a bit dangerous. However, there were great spots for dogs to splash and also roll in the snow.
This is such a nice, quick hike anytime of year and especially during the week to avoid crowds in pristine, white tennis shoes...
