At this time in 2011, the trail was mostly free of snow below those lakes, but the ground was 90% covered with snow around Susie. There were two open flat areas near the lake that were fine camping areas. This season had a bit more snow than 2011, but we also had that extreme week of heat which accelerated the melt-off. Expect to do wet foot stream crossings, however they should be lower risk by now.
