Bullet point notes with more info in the blog post.
Trail is totally snow free! Woo! To the lake is easy. No real boot path that we found heading up to the craggies, but they can be scrambled almost entirely without snow besides a mellow snow field at the base of West Craggy. We went counterclockwise which was a great decision, because coming down snow for the last stretch was way more enjoyable than coming down 2000ft of talus, which is how descending Big Craggy will be.
Trail has lots of downed trees, a few within the first mile, then a clear stretch, and then a few within a mile of the lake.
The description is right, it's deceptively steep.
The bugs were starting to come out. We didn't get eaten alive, but I think in two weeks they'll be out in full force. Yikes.
