Left on Saturday morning on a great afternoon hike to the shelter. Trail was in very good condition all the way to the shelter. Trail begins to be snow covered about half way up the trail to harrison lake. Lake was about 50% covered with snow, but melting rapidly. Trail was a bit hard to follow, but there were plenty of footsteps to follow and was fairly easily found.
We found a perfect campsite on far side of the lake that had no snow coverage. Perfect afternoon sun provided us with lots of sun and relaxation.
The trail up to peak 5345 was in good condition also and we had beautiful views on our day at the peak.
I anticipate that within a couple of weeks most snow will be melted and the trails easily followed.
