My son and I hiked in from Hannegan Pass trailhead to Egg Lake on day 1. The route was snow-free until the very end. There are a few snow patches on the way down to Egg Lake from Silesia Camp. Nothing serious but it would be a long slide if you slipped. We were happy to have trekking poles while crossing. We dayhiked to Copper Mountain lookout and a little ways past on day two. Again almost entirely snow free and the trail was in pretty good shape. We signed the guest book at the lookout and appeared to be only about the 7th group to sign it this year. We hiked back out via Hannegan pass on the third day and saw several marmots along the way. It got pretty cold overnight and rained almost the whole night and last day we were there.
We were told by another group who were doing the whole loop and had come from the valley via US Cabin Camp that the trail along the river had downed trees throughout and was generally overgrown.
