Lake Ann — Saturday, Jun. 14, 2025

Hiked this trail yesterday with 2 dogs after seeing recent trip report from PiperMarmalade. There is indeed lots of water for dogs which was great.

Only saw 3 orher cars in the lot on a Friday and encountered just one pair of hikers which meant ai had the lake to myself. I was surprised not to see more people.

No snow until the flat section after the lake cutoff. No traction needed here but having a downloaded map was useful here even though the section is short since the trail occasionally disappears.

Then no snow until the descent to the lake. Here I opted to make may way down the boulder field to avoid snow descent. Lots of pink snow here which isn't pretty but an indication of climate change as we see more of this in late spring.

Mostly straightforward hike but a few steeper sections along the way. The dogs loved it but it was difficult to keep them from the pink snow.
