A sunny Thursday and daughter home on spring break - what more can you ask for a great hike.
Heather Lake is an easy destination in terms of hiking time and getting the the trail head from Seattle. The trail is rooty, rocky but short and without much elevation gain.
There was one blow down that had to be crawled over but other than this the trail was in good to excellent shape. There is snow at the lake and some snow on the very upper part of the trail as you approach the lake. Small sections of this were a bit slick but we had no problems getting up or down these.
Most of the snow is recent and melting as temperatures have warmed. Met 6 different parties at or coming up to the lake.
The road has several sections of bad pot holes starting about 1/4 mile from the trail head. The holes were not deep and we were able to drive around or through them in the family station wagon.
