Beautiful blue sky day to snowshoe from the Alpental ski resort to the snowfield just past Source lake. 3 hrs round trip with leisurely photography stops.
Even though the mileage is low, quite exhausting uphill section in the middle. Keep pushing yourself and bring lots of layers. The air temperature was in the high 20s but you'll sweat alot so it's a balance of staying warm and not letting your sweat get you cold.
The path is fairly trodden, but there's a few sections that you have to think about. There was surprisingly not that many people that day I snowshoed. Few fallen trees but can carefully climb around, just a bit tricky with snowshoes on.
Can't really tell there's a lake because covered by 6+ feet of snow and ice. There's a few hundred foot giant drop. Be careful near where the lake basin is.
