Trip Report

Beautiful spring conditions. Warm and sunny. Hope for more snow. We all enjoyed the day but even with snowshoes you broke through the soft snow. We had the place to ourselves through lunch. At that point the groups started showing up. We skipped the loop to Marilyn Lakes. The trail had not been broken and we could have been at it for a long time given the conditions. The road conditions were perfect. No snow or ice.
