Trail to Rachel lake gets snowed out before reaching the switchbacks. Lots of water on trail as snow is still melting and all creeks or drainages are overflowing. We tried to find the trail in the snow, but ended up following a couple of ribbons to the wrong trail. This trail went straight up the ridge to the right and was a challenge trying to follow. We ended up hiking back to the first large waterfall and spending the night, which work out great. We were still bummed that we couldn't make it to the lake.
