The upper parking lot (#4) is now for season pass holders only so you have to park in lot #3. The snow is much deeper this year than last. Looks like about 10+ feet. The path is well packed and easy to walk on. We took a branch to the right that crosses the river on a sturdy snow bridge then ends at a nice waterfall. No easy way that I could see to proceed from here. Went back and took the left fork that leads to an even better view of the waterfall from the south side of the creek. The route then switchbacks steeply up into the relatively flat basin surrounding Source Lake. It looks like a large avalanche came right down to the lake shore from the mountains far above. Only saw a handful of snowshoers and skiers.
