Upper Falls
Trail snowed in from the beginning of the Greg Ball trail but well compacted and do-able without traction devices. We didn't posthole until we carved our own path along the road around the lake. Plenty of blowdowns under the canopy of the last stretch of road to Wallace Falls. The .1 mile diamond-marked route connecting the road to the falls can be very icey and slippery. Some compacted, slick snow between lower and upper falls. Very cold at the lake.
No water from the water fossett at the trailhead!
10+ miles roundtrip. Hike time: A slow 6+ hours due to all of the snow.
