Dry - Ongoing dustiness on trail which causes some slipperiness. Smoke from recent local wildfire obscured AM views but cleared by the afternoon. Note this is more like a 13 mile hike up and back down.

Mostly Dry, Icy - Crossed several small snowfields, biggest was 200 yards across, easy to lose trail. One steep ice/snow/melt 50yards across very hazardous on steep slope. Previous hikers had stomped foot wide path across.

Small snow field just before the lake. Large snowfield makes progressing up Timberline Falls to Sky Pond difficult.
