Great Sunday stroll up to Margaret Lake in the afternoon.
Road: Doable in any car, but it's definitely a bit wash boarded, so lower clearance vehicles might have a bit of trouble, but should be able to make the trailhead.
Trail: Great condition. No specific issues to comment on.
Fall Color: Great fall color up there! Probably nearing the peak for vine maples, the other trees I don't know off the top of my head, huckleberry plants, and the other plants I just don't quite know. Might get one more good weekend of color before it starts to fade.
A great fall color alternative hike if you want to avoid the majority of the crowds searching for larches or other higher alpine environments
