Molly and I hiked up to Mystic Lake in the West Rosebud Drainage on 4/16/12 (the date in the video is wrong). Conditions were about 45 and mostly sunny, light winds. Lower section of trail was mostly dry, the upper section was mostly snow covered. Those with alpine environment experience will find the trail to be quite fun. But less experienced hikers may want to wear snowshoes or crampons and use trekking poles depending on time of day and temperature. The Lake was still frozen over and the trail past the lake looked to be quite snow covered. Avalanche conditions were non existent on the hike to the lake, but maybe different past the lake.
