Snow prevents access to the trailhead about a half mile before the parking area. Once on the trail in the woods, it's fairly clear for the first mile. After that, it's on snow then off snow for a few miles with the final mile being several feet deep still. At the lake we found the cabin open. This was good news as one of my scouts was suffering from some cold, wet feet. Saturday we awoke to some warm sunny weather. The lake level was down and was still frozen over. We took the ""road"" trail out since it had snowmobile tracks that were much easier to walk. The tracks ended up taking us down an even lower road (road 1262). Just past the gate marked on the green trails map, I dropped my pack and hiked up the dead-end spur road going in a SW direction. Near the end of this spur, I climbed up 600 feet through the woods and found myself at my parked car. Jumped in and drove down to pick everyone up.
