Not much to add to the previous report, but want to acknowledge and thank the trail work. It's more or less clear to Hidden Hand Pass, where some downfall will keep stock from getting through a bit further on. Beyond that, it's all fine for hikers with little effort. We stayed at Ruby Pasture the first night, as we got to the TH around 6PM on Friday. Then overnighted at Roland Creek, and dayhiked to May Creek to get the first (and our only) view of the lake to that point. Only saw a handful of people until we hiked out Sunday.
For dayhikers, this hike doesn't follow close enough to see the lake until about 8 miles or so; it's a fairly unremarkable and meandering trail. Never too difficult, though. If you're hoping to have a nice stroll along the lake, you'll have to put the miles in.
