Annette Lake — Friday, Nov. 7, 2025

Arrived around 11:45am, lot was maybe a quarter full. It was cloudy with on/off light rain. A few downed trees at the beginning, but they’re easy to step over. With all the rain recently the streams are running higher, so a few take a little effort to cross if you don’t want to submerge your boots. There were a few sections of the trail that also turned into shallow streams with all the water draining. Despite that it was draining pretty good, so mud wasn’t that bad. Near the top of the trail there was a couple inches of snow, mostly slush and in the flatter areas, poles were helpful, micro spikes not needed. Snow is more in the exposed sections, not so much under the trees.
