Heather Lake

Short, pretty hike. There's still snow the last half mile, and the last quarter mile has some slippery ups and downs. I was wearing IceTrekkers and was still slipping a bit due to the slushiness of the snow, so I would highly recommend either traction devices or poles. I didn't have too much of an issue with postholing but was intentionally walking lightly in some areas that were kind of sketchy-looking. Getting to the far side of the lake required crossing a snow bridge, which looked sturdy at the time but might become less reliable with the warm weather this weekend.
