Melakwa Lake

Started at Pratt Lake Trailhead, early (6 a.m.). Ran up to Melakwa Lake. The trail is clear and in great condition, until the last couple of hundred yards below the lake. At that point there are large patches of hard snow intermixed with dry land. The snow areas cover the trail in parts, so it's a little tricky finding the trail. If you're familiar with the trail, it shouldn't be too tough. It's MUCH more melted out than two weeks ago. Should be totally clear very soon. We were able to get up and down to the lake without any real difficulty, just a little confusing there at the end. Beautiful up there with wildflowers. Bugs weren't bad when running, but did see some campers wearing bag net masks. Lots of water in the creeks, but not problematic. Enjoy!
