North Lake — Saturday, Jun. 28, 2025

Began hiking a 9:45. As stated in the June 10 report, there are still about 11 logs across the trail at various locations. Small kids will need help over most of them. A little bushy in places. Most creeks can be crossed with dry feet, using rocks as stepping g stones. At the larger creek, with the logs, you need to pay attention. It's safe to cross,  just pay attention to what your doing. Bugs increase as you near the lake outflow. Saw 2 marmots, supervising our brave friend as she took a dip in the chilly lake. Breezy at the lake with rolling clouds dropped the temperature quickly. Bring at least a light jacket,  even if it's otherwise warm/hot on the trail. Several flowers throught the hike, even a few remaining Balsam Root.
