Heather Lake is beautiful even on a drizzly day!
Started at 9:25 a.m. A bit damp with sprinkles. The trail was very wet. Plan on wet feet. Highly recommend wool socks! Beautiful surroundings! Once you hit the snow, which was about 1/4 of a mile from the lake, the trail basically disappears. Though it was fun to adventure through the snow and reach the lake, I don't advise it unless you are prepared. The snow will just cave in. When you reach the lake you can walk the wood bridges to the right for a bit and get great scenic shots. No bugs! Great friends! Amazing views! Tried finding the trail from the lake to hike back, even then we got lost. A little sketchy on keeping on the trail. More snow here than Lake Serene last week or Lake 22. Have fun!
