A wet day for a great short hike to Lake 22. Oh the memories, my first hike to the lake I went up an avalanche chute to reach the lake (back in the early 70's), memories of hiking there with Ome Daiber and friends.
The trail is in good shape with some mud at the beginning with turns to rocky scree toward the top (near the lake). Snow lingers near the lake and must be crossed but it will not be around much longer.
The lake is still about 3/4 covered with ice but the board walk has significantly melted out and offers a place to eat lunch and hang your boots over the side.
Some wildflowers (Trillium) are in bloom and offered a nice contrast to the forest.
Took us old folks about 1.5 hours up and 1.0 hours down.
