Upper Lena Lake — Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024

I made it about 2/3rd the way to Upper Lena Lake, but the snow became too deep (12") to safely traverse by myself. I was the first one to hike and it became almost impossible to know if you were on the trail. I spent way too much time testing the snow with my hiking pole. I turn back at around 3,950 ft. Note that the wet rocks and roots on the trail were very slippery. The lower Lena Lake and most of the upper Lena Lake trail was in great shape.
