A few folks have been in there this year so there are a couple of different approach trails to take after the second lake. The driving was ok just a bit slick on the Trans Alta road, especially around Trappers Hill. This latest storm may have changed that. Water is open just after the blue bridge (3 or 4 kms up the T/A road) which was passable yesterday but this also will become issue.
We parked before the first creek crossing (old marker 39) and walked across as there where some decent ice shelves on both sides, however a couple of other vehicles made it across.
Have fun and safe driving!
