Soda Peaks Lake

Overnighted at Soda Peaks Lake. The trail up from Government Mineral Springs is melted out. Just a few areas of patchy snow in the last quarter mile to the lake. All of the campsites are also melted, though the south and west sides of the lake still have snow on the shore. And the lake itself is still 90% frozen over. It was in the mid-70s going up the big hill yesterday and dropped into the upper 40s last night.
Recent upgrades to the Trapper Creek Trail (I was on the trail gig last weekend)
The new bridge across Trapper Creek for the trail to the lake. Remember that you now use the Trapper Creek trailhead, not Iron Mike
Where you head uphill, nature has cooperated for once in creating a rather huge blockage from going the way of the previous trail (left on the fork)
Camp up on the knoll
