Gorgeous!  Arrived at the trailhead at about 4pm to see a good bit of snow even at the start.  Was reassured by another hiker finishing that despite a fair bit of snow coverage the trail was accessible.  Ran into a pair of hikers coming down – one who was wearing sandals!  A move she clearly regretted but she assured me she was OK.  They were only about a 1/4 of the way from the trailhead when I passed going UP and I still passed them on my way down (slow going for them).  Was wonderful to see snow so early in the season – not a huge impediment but it covered most of the trail starting 1/2 way up.  A few times went through out to me knees.  Added a bit more work but not bad at all.  No surprise sepctatcualr views from the summit.  LOVE LASSEN NATIONAL PARK!

5 down 1 to go!
