Blowdowns
Trail overall is in good condition. Found that there was about 3 blowdowns, all easily passable. There was some snow/slush on the trail, but it was all easily traversed. The northern side of the lake had patchy snow, but we were able to find a snow free campsite. Finding dry-enough wood for the campfire was difficult, but after splitting some downed branches, we were able to get one going.

At the lake there was quite a few small avalanches tumbling down the mountain on the south side of the lake. Made for a great rumble that kept startling our dogs.

Lastly, we didnt find any snow on the forest road to the trailhead.
