Snow Lake — Thursday, Jul. 31, 2025

Trail conditions are great! Unsurprisingly this is still a very busy trail, even for a Thursday, but way better than dealing with weekend crowds. I arrived at the parking lot at about 9:30am and there were 30+ cars there already. On the hike I was passing multiple groups going up and coming down the entire time, but with plenty of space in between groups. Still better than what I imagine the weekend crowds to be like. But obviously, the hike is popular for a reason, it's beautiful up there. And once to the lake, there is room to spread out a bit and find your own spot on the lake shore.
