Great temps. No snow. Lots of traffic.

Normally I suspect this would be 5 stars. The high snow spring lead to high snow levels above 8100 feet. Once you pass the water crossing, the trail to alpine lake as mostly snowfield. We did not try to get to Sawtooth Lake due to snow. June 14, 2019

Sawtooth - Alpine Lake

We could not access Sawtooth Lake due to high snow levels. Water crossing required taking off shoes and socks. Great hike otherwise
