Snow Lake — Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025

Front side of the mtn zero snow on the trail.  Once you summit and begin to descend, you’ll encounter snow patches and a little ice.  The ice was a non-issue really, provided people weren’t full out running in those sections.  I brought Microspikes but wasn’t even tempted to use them.  I went about half way to Gen Lake and trail was in good shape and the colors are beautiful.  Few pika out, and looking well fed.  Heard there was a bear just about 5 minutes past the log bridge going toward Gem, but I didn’t see or hear him/her.  Snow and rain headed our way this weekend, so who knows that it’ll look like in a few days
