The log over the stream is at exactly 1.8 miles from the trailhead. After we crossed the stream, the snow got deep. We put on the snowshoes and were able to follow the trail for a while. Lost the trail and picked it back up a few times. As we headed up the steep slope to the left, we could no longer see the trail. We could have traversed the slope a few times and made it up, but it wasn't going to happen on this day. We were about a third of a mile from the lake with 500' of elevation to go. The slope is steep and looked a little avalanche prone on this warm day. I am curious to see the path of the actual trail when the snow melts. This last mile of this hike is very tough when snow is present.
