Yesterday I set out Lake Serene with a couple of friends. The weather in the mountains sounded questionable, so I figured this would be an easier option than some of the places I was considering. Plus, I had never been to the Serene mine and was interested in checking that out.
Turned out to be a great day for hiking. We had no rain whatsoever. The final mile of the hike was snow covered, which added a lot to the difficulty and the beauty of the hike. This is the first time I have been on this hike during this time of year.
We enjoyed watching the snow falls cascading down the face of Mt. Index while having lunch before heading back to our car.

The snow seemed well settled to all of us. The only sketchy areas were a couple of stream crossings right before the lake where there are snow bridges which will melt out soon.
