Snow on trail

Since the road has been washed out for some time now, in case you didn't already know. You have to walk in from the ranger station. Which is nice because it seems like there are less people around now. Today we headed out for green lake. You can manage without snowshoes until you head up from the trailhead.(3 mile mark)

ranger falls is about a mile further uphill and the lake is about another mile further than that. It was lightly snowing on us and pretty cool out. heard a few avalanche rumbles off in the distance. Never made it all the way to Green Lake though, we had a late start.
