Backpack to Bear Lake (Emigrant Wilderness)

05/30/17

We just tried to do it this weekend May 28 2017. The road to trail head is closed 5 miles before trail start. We did those 5 miles on foot, was pretty good, but parts of the road was completely covered with snow. We made tent at the trail head parking - there are lots of campsites with tables (most covered in snow). There is a toilet there. The trail beyond bridge was not visible under the snow, so we didn't continue. We didn't meet anyone, but we saw at least 5 cars turn around at the road block. We arrived late at the Summit Ranger station, it was closed, so we didn't get any info. Definitely need to call them to ask about road conditions.
