Annette Lake

In resonse to Mike
Littlefield's 5-3-98 report, Yes this is a busy trail. I had not previously hiked this trail to the lake, but had used it partially as an approach to Silver Peak. It was a family affair alright that included the household pet, however I always enjoy the variety of people I meet along the trails. The snow gullies are allmost clear of snow as well as the campsites around the lake which is still covered with a light crust of snow that is breaking up fast. Trail is snow covered the last 1/8 mile to the lake. The wind fall has not yet been cleared at three locations, but no major problems in navigationg around them. Thers a lot of runoff at the lower Humpback Creek bridge crossings, whigh is very impressive, and streams are seen running on either side of the lake. Just for informational purposes, I took a survey to see how many cars ant the trailhead had 1998 Trail Park Permits. 5 of 33 vehicles had permits displayed.
