Trails are now 80-90% snow free, although you will get your feet very wet walking through the slushy snow that remains.

Many Western Anemone and buttercups are in bloom. The Glacier lily's are at their peak, and down by the lower lakes you can find Globeflowers, Spring Beauty and even a few forget-me-not.

The Larch trees are just starting to sprout new needles.
The ice is almost melted from the lakes.

Official opening Day for hiking at Sunshine Meadows although snowshoes were still the footwear of Choice.

Still ice on the lakes, but the Columbian ground squirrels were out and the Western Anemones were making an effort to bloom.
