there is the smallest amount of snow still on the section, but it is easily avoidable/doesn't impose any serious risk. Arrived at the TH @ 8:30 AM and was among the first to begin parking along the road. Back at car by 4:00 PM. saw two marmots and a dozen Chipmunks. a trail to return to once the weather is clear.

Is there any water sources along the trail before reaching Summerland?

Yes! There are a few stream crossings on the way to Summerland with safe areas to collect water.
