Got to the service road around 11am Saturday and it was clear until the last turn which had snow that forced most vehicles to park about 200 yards from the trail head.
The trail to Barclay had 3-4 small trees to crawl over and slushy snow on parts of the trail but overall the trail was in good condition.
Once at the lake the ground was mostly covered in snow and we saw few hikers throughout the day. We found a flat dry place to put our tent and collect enough dry fire wood to last the through dinner and before bed. The temperature was around 35 degrees Saturday night but was comfortable with layers and 5 degree sleeping bag.
Fished on Sunday but with no success and didn't spot any fish in the clear water.
