I was thinking of doing the Lake Isabelle hike from this coming Friday - but I see that Pawnee campground (Brainard lake) is closed. Does that mean the road to the trailhead is closed too? Anyone know what the Lake Isabelle trail conditions are like?
I was there last Friday around 10pm and the road to the trailhead was blocked off. Based on some of the photos from Flickr, the trail looked pretty wet and snowpacked.
I was up there on June 12th. We had to park down by Brainerd Lake and the trail was snow-covered all the way around Long Lake. We didn't make it all the way to Isabelle--too much snow.
