Lots of clouds so no views. Can just about drive to the gate that closes the road. The bathrooms just past the gate are open and suprisingly even had TP. This was a tough hike because the snow is so wet and heavy. After 3 miles my thighs were burning big time. Used snow shoes but the wet snow made each step feel like I was wearing ankle weights. took me 3 hours to get to the lake and just under 2 to get back down. Once you hit 4K feet the snow is 7+ feet deep.
