Five miles from the trailhead
and it starts to rain. It also seems to be snowing at 1000 feet. So off we go, jumping many downpour inspired creeks. We also saw many waterfalls along the way. Solid snow coming down above 1500 feet. Just a few inches on the ground at first, almost a foot of fresh at the lake where it was snowing very hard. Heard an avalanche on the other side of the lake. The only wildlife was an American Dipper at the lake outlet. The lake is completely frozen over. I guess the spring melt is not under way just yet. We had a blast, with only my wimpy winter calf muscles paying the price. We did see the requisite two fools in jeans, no coats, and no packs stomping through the snow.
