- There was no snow on the trail.
- Some prior reports have indicated that there are streams running down the path - we were able to walk completely on rocks without having to walk in the streams.
- The lake is almost completely frozen, which means that eating lunch by it is similar to standing by an open fridge on a cold morning... Better to have your lunch on the way down!
- Hiking to the base of the Bridal Veil falls is a gorgeous, not-too-hard detour. But I would recommend doing it on the way up as you will not want to do it on the way down :)
- Despite the easy-looking 2000 feet elevation gain, the hike is a grind at times. Luckily, there are occasional views along the way to encourage the journey and the lake is worth every step!
