    Tips

    Hiking

    Definitely a very busy lake in the summer/fall (I haven't visited in the winter/spring), so getting to the trailhead early is good to avoid the crowds. Also, arriving later in the afternoon works pretty well; just be sure to plan for when darkness sets in.

    Hiking

    On a summer day Snow Lake is a zoo. Get there early if you want to avoid the crowds.

    Hiking

    When snow is on the ground, the trail is difficult/impossible to locate. Bring GPS and Sun protection for hiking in the winter/spring. Also come early to avoid crowds.
