Got to the parking lot at 8:00am to find it 3/4 full, although there's some side parking that could be used to extend the space that was completely open.
Some obstacles on the trail. I personally didn't find it hard to climb over trees across the path (I'm 5'4" 23yo female), but there were 3 that I remember so I think it's worth noting.
Got to the lake in 1 hr 27 minutes, which is slower for me. Great trail as always, although the rocky section 3/4 of the way up isn't my favorite.
There's a tiny bit of snow on the trail right before the lake, but it's melting quickly and perfectly passable. Also, there's snow on the lake itself which I found beautiful!
Not too crowded at the lake, but we did try to beat the crowds. We saw more people headed down.
Got back to the parking lot around 11:15 or so, and there were definitely cars driving around to pick up spots of people leaving.
Beautiful hike as always! One of my favs for proximity to Seattle.
