Hiked from Granite Creek Connector trail to Franklin Falls via Melakwa Pass.
First day to Thompson Lake; Trail fine.
Second Day to Melakwa Lake; West Defiance traverse is under snow, Mason Lake area under snow to approx east side of Pratt Mountain. Trail clear otherwise.
Third Day to Franklin Falls; Melakwa Pass traverse was beautiful, but obviously mountaineering territory. Snow Lake was snowed in pretty much all the way from the pass to the ridge overlooking the east end of lake. Snow Lake Trail mostly clear to Alpental.
