We hiked to Nosh Nosh Wahtum on June 19th. It took some time to drive the 12-mile forest road to the trailhead, but other than one significant stream crossing (which posed no problem in a high clearance vehicle), it's not too rough.
The beautiful trail to Nosh Nosh Wahtum climbs steadily but not too steeply through the forest. The lower part of the trail was buggy and we suffered a few mosquito bites, but by the time we were about halfway up the bugs had mercifully disappeared.
Water frequently ran across and over the trail from recent snow melt, and there were a few stream crossings, but nothing deep or difficult. We ran across numerous snow patches as we neared the lake, and had to cross several on foot. Now that it's almost July, I expect the trail may already be completely snow free.
The trail itself is in good shape, although quite rocky at times, so watch your step. We passed only a few other hikers, and enjoyed having the trail to ourselves. Nosh Nosh Wahtum is a lovely little lake, with a pretty picnic spot near the shore. The water is clear and cold, and would be a refreshing place to take a plunge on a hot day.
