Took a quick overnight trip with my dog, leaving TH at 7pm. Made it to the ridge above the lake by 8:15PM just in time to set up a camp and enjoy the sunset. The trail is in the great shape with very few down trees. Thousands of Avalanche Lilies in the lake basin and along the trail. Road to the TH is very rough. I would not attempt with low clearance vehicle.
NOTE: There is logging in progress along the upper road. On the way back around 9AM Tuesday, I had to stop and wait for a log loader machine to load the trucks with two carts- about 40 min. They did not have any intentions of moving to the side and let me pass until they truck was fully loaded. From talking to guy who worked on that machine, they start at 1AM. You would be very likely to encounter this road block on early morning through early afternoon.
